"Broken Arrows" lyrics

"Broken Arrows"

Hey
Show me one man that's never made mistakes
Oh
And I'll pay all of my time and every dime I've made
But today

The best of intentions, I lay at your feet
I need you to see past the worst part of me

Tired of taking my aim
When I keep on missing
There's gotta be a way
Gotta be a better way

When every little word I say
Keeps getting twisted
Or coming out wrong
So baby, hold on
I'm trying to hit the mark
But I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows

No
I may not be a saint, but I've got a heart of gold
Yeah
And like a telephone
Connection ain't clear
But I hope you hear my soul
You gotta know

The best of intentions, I lay at your feet
I need you to see past the worst part of me

Tired of taking my aim
When I keep on missing
There's gotta be a way
Gotta be a better way

And every little word I say
Keeps getting twisted
Coming out wrong
So baby, hold on
I'm trying to hit the mark
But I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows

I'm drawing it back now
And the target is you
And I don't know what else I can do, whoa

Tired of taking my aim
When I keep on missing
There's gotta be a way
Gotta be a better way

Seems like every little word I say
Keeps getting twisted
Or coming out wrong
So baby, hold on
I'm trying to hit the mark
But I'm shooting with broken arrows
It's like I'm shooting with broken arrows
