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

Oh, oh

Oh, oh-oh

For all of the times I never could

(All of the times)

(I never could)
