Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I have, good intentions
Don't always turn them, into action
I speak love, it's easy enough
But words are not what, love is made of
I wanna do more than that
Yeah, I gotta do more than that
Want you to see it
And believe it
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh,
I wanna love like I mean it, love like I mean it
Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh,
I wanna love like I mean it, love like I mean it
I know, what mercy feels like
I've seen my own life, pulled from the ashes
But I'm not gonna wait, until it's too late, too late
I wanna show the world what I've been given
I could speak with the voice of angels
Even tell you that I got your back
But I wanna do more than that
Yeah, I gotta do more than that
