Song 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 ‘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 till I saw your face,
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better.
I didn't know I was broken till 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 till I saw your face,
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better.
I didn't know I was broken till 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 till I saw your face,
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better.
I didn't know I was broken till I wanted to change,
I wanna get better, better, better, better,
I wanna get better.
