I'll Be Good

[Verse 1] I thought I saw the devil this morning Looking in the mirror Drop of rum on my tongue with a warning To help me see myself clearer [Pre-Chorus] I never meant to start a fire I never meant to make you bleed I'll be a better man today [Chorus] I'll be good, I'll be good And I'll love the world like I should I'll be good, I'll be good For all of the times that I never could [Verse 2] My past has tasted bitter for years now so I wield an iron fist Grace is just weakness, or so I've been told I've been cold, I've been merciless [Pre-Chorus] But the blood on my hands scares me to death Maybe I'm waking up today [Chorus] I'll be good, I'll be good And I'll love the world like I should I'll be good, I'll be good (I'll be good, I'll be good) [Bridge] For all of the light that I shut out For all of the innocent things that I doubt For all of the bruises I've caused and the tears For all of the things that I've done All these years, no, yeah For all of the sparks that I stomped out For all of the perfect things that I doubt [Chorus] I'll be good, I'll be good And I'll love the world like I should yeah I'll be good, I'll be good For all of the times I never could For all of the times I never could
