What have I done?

I wish I could run,

Away from this ship going under

Just trying to help out everyone else

Now I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders


What can you do when your good isn't good enough

And all that you touch tumbles down?

'Cause my best intentions

Keep making a mess of things

I just wanna fix it somehow


But how many times will it take?

Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right, to get it right?


Can I start again, with my fate again?

'Cause I can't go back and endure this

I just have to stay and face my mistakes,

But if I get stronger and wiser, I'll get through this


What can you do when you're good isn't good enough?

And all that you touch tumbles down?

'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things

I just wanna fix it somehow


But how many times will it take?

Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?


So I throw up my fists, throw a punch in the air

And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair

Yeah, I'll send down a wish and I'll send up a prayer

And finally someone will see how much I care


What can you do when you're good isn't good enough?

And all that you touch tumbles down?

My best intentions keep making a mess of things

I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many times will it take?

Oh, how many times will it take to get it right, to get it right?
