I’ll Be Good Lyrics

[Verse 1: Justin Stone]
Yeah, started my dream
Not knowing where this would go but I'm breaking it down
It's a matter of fact that in three or four years I will probably blow from my music
Never gon' lose this, always been driven
Got God on my side while you tried to fit in
Always will care their opinion
I'm lost in mind, I want someone to listen to me

[Pre-Chorus: Jaymes Young, Jaymes Young & Justin Stone]
Never mean to make you bleed
I'll be a better man today

[Chorus: Jaymes Young & Justin Stone, Justin Stone]
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
I never could

[Verse 2]
See a part of me's missing
The thing is, I know, I just hate alone
But I'm too good for feelings
Looking for my destiny with a girl but it's all too complacent
Yeah, we really want more, addicted to being adored
But I'm feeling ignored, so, I'm coming with music
Down at your throat, maybe now you will listen
They talk about drinking and weed like it's all that they do
What's getting drunk really doing for you?
You get wasted forget what you did
If you ask me, that life sounds dumb as—
I'm sober, but dang it, I gave in to drinking
Forgot who I was, cared what they thought and I'm lost in my mind
I've been searching a lot
Been coming up empty so I'm feeling lost
I'm feeling so lost
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Stone]
I'm feeling so lost
I'm feeling so lost
I'm feeling so lost
I'm feeling so lost

[Chorus: Jaymes Young & Justin Stone, Jaymes Young]
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)

[Bridge: Jaymes Young, Jaymes Young & Justin Stone]
For all of the light that I shut out
For all 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 of the sparks that I stumped out
For all of the perfect things that I doubt

[Chorus: Jaymes Young, Jaymes Young & Justin Stone]
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, ohh, oh-oh
Oh, woah-oh
Oh, oh-oh
For all of the times I never could
[Outro: Justin Stone]
Good, good, good
I'll be good, good, good
I'll be good, good, good
I'll be good, good, good
