Young, Jaymes - I'll Be Good Lyrics






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
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 and the tears
For all of the things that I've done all these years
Yeah, for all of the sparks that 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

Ooh oh oh
Ooh oh oh
For all of the times I never could

    Este hombre arte 💕

  2. V.... M....

    Everybody here is leaving so very beautiful comments about hope and deep stuff. But I'm here cause I listened this in Spotify and I imagined this story where this serial killer sings this to himself every time he kills somebody, like "I'll be good I'll be good, this time I'll make it right!" He changes city and his name but then the stressors come again, and the nightmares and the sweating and SNAP! There's another strangled woman or dismembered child.

    Don't worry I'm NOT a serial killer myself I just liked the darkness of the song if you take it literally.

    I'm also a writer. 😅

  3. S.... W....

    I’m always the bad guy. Always. I could die for someone else and still be the bad one.

  4. h.... w....

    This song fits perfectly with draco malfoy in _my_ opinion

  5. m.... B....

    This song speaks to every person who wants to close a circle.
    Mental crisis is a non-judgmental situation. The fact that you do not deserve to see people, that you take your anger out on the world and lots of other examples, does not mean that you are bad people. This is due to understandable pain, and in such a situation you need professional help.

    Anyone who closes a circle, this song for him. Anyone who finishes a period will fall into his life, it's for him.

    Don't be left with these guilt, feelings and feelings, you're not alone.

  6. B.... S....

    THIS IS TO ANYONE WHO IS HAVING A TOUGH TIME:
    Dear fellow person, you may never know who I am, but believe me when I say that whatever you're going through, just know that I care. So do others. They may be perfect strangers, or they may be your friends/family members. But whoever they are, or wherever they are, just know they do care.

    Believe me I'm going through the same thing. I'm suffering from ADHD, depression, and anxiety. So trust me me, life is certainly hard for people like me and you but don't worry because WE CARE!

    You may never truely believe me, but if you do, know that all this will be over. We can make things right.

    And this song really hits me because I've done some horrible things in the past and I didn't want to.. but it's because all these people are hurting me... And I know that even if I did bad things, and if I can never undo them, I can at least try to do something good.

    So again, before I stop I want you to know that there are people going through a lot. It's not just me or you. But it's a lot of people. And for most it's very difficult, but you have people who will be there every step of the way, trust me.

    XOXO,

    A person who cares.
    (Faith)

  7. B.... S....

  24. A.... M....

    The spirit of God,the father...through brokenness,helps us see the truth,help us change,sadly,only when we're broken,some people sadly,have always been broken,born into brokeness,it's sad,that we as believers,those who have been chosen to carry the light,carry the secret to live,have misused it for our selfish ways,to feed other who are already filled,not with the spirit ,but of pride,of what we have,what we've accomplished,leaving so many to get further lost,go into the darkness,stay in the darkness ... Because we've took forgranted the secret,we kept it all for ourselves...thinking it was more about recited words,forgetting that the words,were simply the guide that would change our actions,our hearts,so that we can sense the pain,in those lost. Those broken. Those broken,because of circumstances I. Which our world crushes and breaks...we were to busy feeding our own...we forgot about his flock...we beat them down ... I stead of showing humility,truth,in live,we condemned them,all while preaching and sharing forgiveness,and repentance...my heart breaks,not so much for us,but for our father,who called us to bring his children home ... To the true light,and love...we've said,without words...but in spirit...we have no place for you...our words said,come to us,but our hearts said,you're dirty,you should t be here...a d for that,God has come...and us drawing near...but he will save his broken...he won't let them down...but while there's still time,for those who are still proud...there's still time,to be humble,do away with pride,before we're broken...the father,will not tillerate the pride ..because,for all of the pride,many have been left out ,in the dark...in the cold...and his broken,all those who've been mistreated,abused,neglected,when they should have been helped,will be avenged ... Justice belongs to the Father...they say,how could he punish...how could he be cruel...but when you see all the pride,those who we think are good,but have done spiritul harm,because pride leaves no room for other,but those if their own,who already have...it attracts those who feel alike,but drains all others ..and in a world where the Earth can no longer take anymore if our greed,it's selfish to even think ..well...let them have some of what we have...we give and give,take from Earth to give,when we've extracted much already,and think the Earth can replinish without letting it rest to recover,making the problem bigger,it's not more things the world needs,it's spiritul food ... Love,tenderness,kindness,humility...so that we can welcome,and bring in lost sheep...before they get trampled over and stepped on...something we haven't learned,have yet to learn. ..

  25. I.... p....

    This is a really beautiful song and all. But I just have to point out that this dude looks like skinny Captain America

  26. d.... ....

    This song is for those of us that have these little moments of clarity, where we know we were “bad” or wrong. When we usually just let our brain ignore it.

  27. A.... C....

    99% won't read this....



    ...but 1% have a nice day❤

  28. K.... R....

    This song spoke to me.

  29. C.... ....

    Maybe i am the only one who feels like that but I am rather alone than around others. Idk why i just can think better then....

  30. a.... s....

    Hessa ✌😥

  31. F.... j....

    Dear futur me,
    I hope it will be better.
    I hope I will be alive.

    Couse now I hate it.I hate my mom,I hate everything on this world.I belive in things,which are not real.I hate myself.Nobody tells me that they like me.


    And the time is running

    F.... j....

    Hopin you get future you. Aint alone

  32. J.... R....

    God, I'm really missing old times.
    But why? It was horrible. I was in a worse place. Now I'm better. Why do I wish to go back? It makes no sense.
    Maybe just for the music, the hope I felt from that music, because of the things I didn't know that I know now.

  33. a.... ....

    this was uploaded on my birthday 5 years ago...i had just turned 10 and had just startred to follow my dreams while facing reality. this song made me fall in love with singing even more, and it was at a period of my life where things went a bit downhill for me. so i actually promised myself that "ill be good". i was so young, i didnt know what was coming, but i still live up to that and im trying to be the best version of myself at all times, and you pretty stranger do the same. idk who you are, but ily. stay safe ok? <3

    unlike a lot of self pitying people here, i am here because i have a strong personality and a fierce confidence, however because of family problems and traumatic things from young ages, i’ve become angrier recently, and i’ve hurt a lot of people with my anger, i’ve made them bleed so much and be in so much pain, and i didn’t even realise it for a while. when they told me and i woke up, i was horrified, i never was so sorry and ashamed, and i just hope i can redeem myself, just one more chance

    I'm sorry.

  48. M.... g....

    I always wonder if I should keep trying or just kill myself. I am living in a period where I realize how many problems I have, how my childhood and my family hurt me. I always try to improve myself but it is impossible, I feel so bad all the time. I feel like it is impossible for me to be in love with someone. I'm so afraid of showing how weak and vulnerable I am. I want to explain, I want support, I want to deserve to be loved. It is so hard. It is unfair. I didn't deserve this. I don't wanna be the person you can give up so easily anymore.

    M.... g....

    Mathilde gh don’t please,try reaching out with friends or medical help

  49. W.... L....

    I'll never leave this masterpiece.

  50. B.... L....

    Sometimes you make mistakes. Many times I’ve made mistakes. But I’m could always refuse to take accountability. And that made it easier to continue making “mistakes”. But one day I looked around myself at the situation I was in, and realized I was the bad guy. So I decided to change. It was really good for me. Now I’m much happier and lighter. But to change, you first need to realize you have a problem, then want to fix it. But, I’ll be good.

  51. N.... S....

    How beautiful 💜

    "l'll be good" I'm trying but not going to plan yet :(

  53. G.... W....

    Dear me,


    I'm sorry I treat you this way,
    It's not your fault.
    you didn't mean to get addicted,
    you didn't mean to push them away.




    I'm sorry I left scars on your arms,
    you say its the cat I say you don't have one.




    I'm sorry I was not what I wanted to be,
    I'm sorry I'm not her,
    but I'm trying to be a good me.




    we've been working it out,
    we're doing better but not as good as we should.




    you didn't mean to hit her,
    you didn't mean to push her away,
    you didn't mean to kill her hope.




    From - Your future self.




    Pain is a drug, don't get addicted.
    Hurt is a feeling, don't hide from it.

    Ich Liebe dieses Lied

  61. M.... ....

    I dropped out of school, dissapointed my parents and family. I´m deeply afraid of relationships, so I push everyone near me away. I just can´t see anything good in myself. I try to but nothing seems to change

  62. C.... B....

    Why do i feel like this song is also about self harm?

  63. C.... B....

    Life is so full of pain that i start thinking death is better.

    C.... B....

    No ❤️

    @Kayla A Wheeler Life is a tough fight but i guess i can t give up. At least i ll be proud i didn t gave up.

  64. M.... H....

    This song perfectly describes Kylo Ren from Star Wars. He is a good person who was pushed to do bad things because of bad people, and in the end, he redeemed himself.

    Dear Future me;
    Stop smoking weed. Drinking 8-12 cans of 440ml Cider a night and have a baby with your amazing wife thats put up with you for all these 10 years. Mentally and socially... Be good and love the world like you should.

    "for all of the times... i never could" same...




    my friends barely hang out with me anymore...maybe i'm just not enough for them anymore.

  72. B.... ....

    The best song in the world

  73. T.... L....

    Dear me and everyone else,

    Sorry for hurting you. I know that you don't deserve to be hurt. I miss you guys though, haven't seen most of you in a long time. I'm not who I once was before, so innocent and idk if that's a good or bad thing. Don't even remember a day when I wasn't at least a little sad and/or anxious. Been feeling this way since I was younger than 8 and I'm afraid of hurting someone else or myself too. Words hurt just as much as any other type of pain.

  74. o.... ....

    I'm seeing a lot of people in the comments saying they had a hard time, or saying that because of a misunderstanding they ended up being the "villain" and so they identify with the song, but only me here who really was the real villain? I always put myself first and didn't care what anyone else felt, if I was fine then no one else mattered. I hurt a lot of people for fear of hurting myself, even when I really loved someone I couldn't demonstrate and ended up pushing her away too. Karma has come to me, I'm paying the price for everything I've done, I've lost important people and probably made someone sad too, I hate myself, every time I look in the mirror I just feel disgust, I always wonder why I'm still living? ", but it would be very selfish of me to give up here after everything I've done for someone. After realizing how horrible I was, today I'm trying to become a good person, love the world and care about the people around me, apologize to everyone that one day I hurt, I don't want to have any regrets anymore, I don't want to continue being me. But it's still so hard, I always end up making the same mistakes again. I was shit, but even now that I've realized it and I'm trying to change ... I'm still shit, but now I'm sad shit

    o.... ....

    sorry for my english, I'm brazilian;)
