Better Life

When I drive to fast and hit a wall

Or drink myself to the hospital

I'm the only one to blame

(Blame, blame, blame)

And as sirens haunt my city streets

And though that sound is after me

Calmly I await the change

(Change, change, change)

So don't wait

For the world to get better

You're gonna waste

The time you have

Ah, ah, and you won't get it back

When you fall

When you break

When you wish you didn't feel

Keep your head

Don't forget

It's the pain that makes us real

I know most of the time

It's hard to keep in mind

From lessons learned

Comes better life, better life

When I play too hard

And break my bones

Depress myself to the lowest lows

I'm the only one to blame

(Blame, blame, blame)

'Cause the choice is mine

And mine alone

And I choose to learn as I go

Clarity will come from pain

(Pain, pain, pain)

So don't wait

For the world to get better

You're gonna waste

The time you have

Ah, ah, and you won't get it back

When you fall

When you break

When you wish you didn't feel

Keep your head

Don't forget

It's the pain that makes us real

I know most of the time

It's hard to keep in mind

From lessons learned

Comes better life, better life

So don't wait

(Oh)

For the world to get better

So don't wait

(Oh)

For the world to get better

My understanding of

The world feels broken

And it's demanding

My immediate attention

You're looking up

Believing you will leave

Your problems below

Forget what you believe

Use what you know

(Use what you know)

When you fall

When you break

When you wish you didn't feel

Keep your head

Don't forget

It's the pain that makes us real

I know most of the time

(Most of the time)

It's hard to keep in mind

(Keep in mind)

From lessons learned

(Lessons learned)

Comes better life, better life
