[Verse 1]
Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
Calling my name and I follow just to find you
Trace the faith to a broken down television, not put on the weather
Cause 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[Chorus]
Didn't know I was lonely until I saw your face
But, I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
Didn't know I was broken until I wanted to change
But, I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna
[Verse 3]
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
And mourn the years before I got carried away

[Pre-Chorus]
That's why I'm standing by the interstate screaming at the cars
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[Chorus]
I didn't know I was lonely until I saw your face
But, I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken until i wanted to change
I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better

[Bridge]
'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
Yeah, I'm screaming at my bedroom window
Like even it's gonna kill me

[Verse 4]
Hey, I woke up this morning early before my family
From this dream 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
[Pre-Chorus]
That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself
"Hey, I wanna get better!"

[Chorus]
I didn't know I was lonely until I saw your face
But, I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn't know I was broken until i wanted to change
But, I wanna get better, better, better, better
I wanna get better
