I Wanna Get Better |
| Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room |
| Calling my name and I follow just to find you |
| I trace the faith to a broken down television, and put on the weather |
| And I’ve trained myself to give up on the past 'cause |
| I froze in time between hearses and caskets |
| Lost control when I panicked at the acid test |
| I wanna get better |
| While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines |
| I was losing my mind because the love, the love, the love, the love, the love |
| That I gave wasted on a nice face |
| In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet |
| Counting seconds through the night and got carried away |
| So now I’m standing on the overpass screaming at the cars |
| «Hey, I wanna get better!» |
| I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face |
| I wanna get better, better, better, better |
| I wanna get better |
| I didn’t know I was broken 'til I wanted to change |
| I wanna get better, better, better, better |
| I wanna get better |
| I go up to my room and there’s girls on the ceiling |
| Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling |
| Of an eighteen year old who didn’t know what loss was |
| Now I’m a stranger |
| And I miss the days of a life still permanent |
| Mourn the years before I got carried away |
| So now I’m staring at the interstate screaming at myself |
| «Hey, I wanna get better!» |
| I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face |
| I wanna get better, better, better, better |
| I wanna get better |
| I didn’t know I was broken 'til i wanted to change |
| I wanna get better, better, better, better |
| I wanna get better |
| 'Cause I’m sleeping in the back of a taxi |
| I’m screaming from my bedroom window |
| Even if it’s gonna kill me |
| Woke up this morning early before my family |
| From this dream where she was trying to show me |
| How a life can move from the darkness |
| She said to get better |
| So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet |
| And I crash my car 'cause I wanna get carried away |
| That’s why I’m standing on the overpass screaming at myself |
| «Hey, I wanna get better!» |
| I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face |
| I wanna get better, better, better, better |
| I wanna get better |
| I didn’t know I was broken 'til I wanted to change |
| I wanna get better, better, better, better |
| I wanna get better |
