I've been a fool, I have been cruel

You put your faith in me

Ask myself why, no alibi

Now that you're facing me

Did things my way, I've had my say

Sometimes I crossed that line

But it seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time



I know I was wrong, I'm holding on

Learning is hard to do

It's not too late, if you will wait

I'll make it up to you

If you refuse, then I will lose

I let our life unwind

But it seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time



Seemed like the right thing

Till I watched you go

Seemed like the right thing

Till I lost control

Out in the darkness

I saw a light

And now I know



A bitter taste, has taken the place

Of kisses that were so sweet

Open my eyes, I realise

My lesson is complete

If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it

Sometimes I crossed that line



But it seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time

Seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time

Did things my way, I've had my say

Sometimes I crossed that line

But it seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time

Seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea at the time
