I wanted to do something good this time
To leave no scars, to cross no lines
I had a picture clear in my head
But it faded once the words were said

My heart was in the right place, I swear
But my eyes weren’t seeing fair
I meant no harm, I meant it clean
But I don’t see the world the way it is seen

You mixed up dreams and reality again
You missed the road, you lost the plan
You mixed up dreams and reality again
Good intentions don’t mean you understand

I acted fast, I didn’t slow
I trusted what I thought I knew
But my view was bent, my angle wrong
I turned a right into something gone

You mixed up dreams and reality again
You took a turn where you should’ve stopped
You mixed up dreams and reality again
You aimed for light, but the aim was off

Wanting good is not the same
As knowing how to do no harm
A broken lens will twist the truth
No matter how pure the start

You mixed up dreams and reality again
You lost the path you thought you saw
You mixed up dreams and reality again
Good intentions don’t fix it all
