I Wanna Get Better

Lyrics

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 frozen 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
