I'll Be Good

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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, yeah

I'll be good, I'll be good

For all of 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

(I'll be good, I'll be good)

For all of the light that I shout 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 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, yeah

I'll be good, I'll be good

For all of the times that I never could

(Oh, oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh)

(Oh, oh, oh)

For all of the times I never could
