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
