    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 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
