Best Laid Plans Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don't like it in the shadows
But you won't let me shine a light
I would wash away your troubles
But it seems
The more that I hold on
The more that you let go
And I know, you better let somebody love you
Or find yourself, on your own

[Chorus]
Tell me why all the best laid plans
Fall apart in your hands
And my good intentions never end
The way I meant

[Verse 2]
If we don't talk about the future
Then should I just, follow you into the dark
Yeah, and does your silence keep you cold
While the cracks form on my heart

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
It seems to me some fine friends have watched you turn your back
It seems you only want the things that you can't have
[Chorus: 2x]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
