I Wanna Get Better (Cover)

Lyrics

[Intro] Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get [Verse 1] I hear the voice of a preacher from the backroom 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 [Pre-Chorus] While my friends were getting high and chasing guys 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" [Chorus] I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get [Verse 2] I go up to my room and there's guys on the ceiling I 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 [Pre-Chorus] And I miss the days of a life still permanent Mourn the years before I got carried away So now I'm standing on the overpass Screaming at the cars, "Hey, I wanna get better" [Chorus] I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get [Bridge] 'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi I'm screaming out my bedroom window Even if it's gonna kill me, oh Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get [Verse 3] I woke up early this morning 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 [Pre-Chorus] So I put a bullet where I should have put a helmet And I crashed my car 'cause I wanna get carried away So now I'm standing on the overpass Screaming at the cars, "Hey, I wanna get better" [Chorus] I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change Get, get, get, get, I wanna get Get, get, get, get, I wanna get
