I thought I saw the devil this morning,
Looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue.
With a warning, to help 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 I never could...
My past has tasted bitter 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.
Yeah, I'll be good, I'll be good,
(I'll be good, I'll be good)
For all of the light 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 of these years!
And all, yeah, for all of the sparks I've 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 I never could...
Oh, oh, oh-oh,
Oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh,
Oh, oh-oh...
For all of the times I never could...
For all of the times I never could...
