[Verse 1]
Hey
Show me one man that's never made mistakes
Oh
And I'll pay all of my time and every dime I've made
But today
[Hook]
The best of intentions, I lay at your feet
I need you to see past the worst part of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Tired of taking my aim
When I keep on missing
There's gotta be a way
Gotta be a better way
[Chorus]
When every little word I say
Keeps getting twisted
Or coming out wrong
So baby, hold on
I'm trying to hit the mark
But I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
[Verse 2]
No

Yeah
And like a telephone

When I keep on missing
There's gotta be a way
Gotta be a better way
[Chorus]
And every little word I say
Keeps getting twisted
Coming out wrong
So baby, hold on

But I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows

And the target is you
And I don't know what else I can do, whoa
[Pre-Chorus]
Tired of taking my aim
When I keep on missing
There's gotta be a way
Gotta be a better way
[Chorus]
Seems like every little word I say
Keeps getting twisted
Or coming out wrong
So baby, hold on
I'm trying to hit the mark
But I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
