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 `cause 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 its 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
