What have I done?
I wish I [bad word] 
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 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 [bad word] that sometimes life isn’t fair!
yeah, I’ll send down a wish and I’ll send up a prater
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?
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?
