i'll be good

Jaymes Young

I thought I saw the devil this morning
Looking in the mirror,
drop of rum on my tongue
With the 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 will deny and face
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've shout out
For all of the innocent things
that I doubt
For all of the bruises
I've caused in the tears
For all of the things that I've done
all these years

Yeah, for all the sparks
that I've stomped out
For all of the perfect things
that I've 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 I never could

Ooh, oh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh

For all of the times I never could
