I'll Be Good

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 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 (oh-oh-oh)
 I'll be good, I'll be good
 (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 in 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 I never could
 Oh, oh-oh
