Undermine

Sometimes good intentions
Don't come across so well...

Get me analyzing everything that
Ain't worth thinking 'bout
Just cause I ain't lived through
The same hand that was dealt to you
Doesn't make me any less
Or make any more of you

I wouldn't trade my best day
So you could validate
All your fears

And if I've only got one shot
Won't waste it on a shadow box
I'll stand right here

[Chorus:]
It's all talk, talk, talk
Talkin' in the wind
It only slows you down
If you start listenin'
And it's a whole lot harder to shine
Than undermine
Yeah, undermine

First mile is always harder
When you're leaving what you know
Won't blame you if you stay here
Waving to me as I go
Always wished the best for you
Thought that you would see me through my wildest dreams
Yeah, the ones you thought I'd never make

Still, you would trade your best day
Just to have your way
All these years
And if you only had one shot
Maybe all this talk
Would disappear

[Chorus]

It's a whole lot harder to shine
Yeah, it's a whole lot harder to shine
Than undermine
Yeah, undermine

Sometimes good intentions
Don't come across so well...
