Better Life

When I drive to fast and hit a wall
 or drink myself to the hospital
 i'm the only one to blame.
 and as sirens haunt my city streets
 and though that sound is after me
 calmly I await the change.
 so don't wait for the world to get better.
 you're gonna waste the time you have.
 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.
 cause the choice is mine and mine alone
 and I choose to learn as I go
 clarity will come from pain.
 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.
 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 for the world to get better
 so don't wait 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
 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
