I'll Be Good Lyrics

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
I never meant to start a fire
I never meant to make you bleed
I'll be a better man today
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 the times that I never could
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
But the blood on my hands scares me to death

Maybe I'm waking up today
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 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
For all of the sparks that I stomped out
For all of the perfect things that I doubt
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 the times I never could
