Good Intentions

You've heard tell the road to hell Is paved with good intentions I've been on that crew and so have you Do I even need to mention I've held the measuring tape as you paved the way The blacktop hot with sorrow As we looked away in our Ray-Ban shades Saying we'll worry about that tomorrow Mile after mile pouring doubt Onto the hardened surface With our best guess thinking, we've got this Life down pat with purpose Not realizing that what our pavement lacks Is a heart that truly listens One reason we can't help that the road to hell Is paved with good intentions
