Best Intentions Lyrics

Didn't know when she walked into my life

He fell in love and now she was his wife

We never saw eye to eye, no matter how hard we tried

She was tough, she was strong, and she wasn't my kind

Made me sit at the table, made me read and write

I didn't understand it, sometimes it took all night

Lessons, tough, and they made me so mad

But now I see, those lessons weren't so bad

She had the best intentions, though her ways were rough

Hidden in the time, she made it tough

She pushed me, but I would never fall

It was her kind of love behind it all

Looking back, I finally understand

She had the best intentions, making me who I am

She held me to the fire, wouldn't let me slide

Every mistake I made, she made sure I tried

I couldn't stand the pressure, thought I'd had enough

But every time I stumbled, it made me get back up

I pushed against fought every demand

But now I see, it was small to me to stand

Her tough love built the strength I didn't know

It shaped my future, it helped me grow

She had the best intentions, though her ways were rough

Hidden in the time, she made it tough

She pushed me, but I would never fall

It was her kind of love behind it all

Looking back, I finally understand

She had the best intentions, making me who I am

Now I can look back, with clear eyes and see

It was more than lessons, it gave strength to me

To a future where I could stand tall and be proud

I wasn't quite, but the results spoke loud

So here's to her, with all her might

Though the days were hard, and the nights were light

I didn't know it then, but now I understand

She knew her future and taught me to take a stand

She had the best intentions, though her ways were rough

Hidden in the time, she made it tough

She pushed me, but I would never fall

It was her kind of love behind it all

Looking back, I finally understand

She had the best intentions, making me who I am
