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 '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
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 was a hot mess In my Sunday best Black tears in my eyes You were my first love You were my only one I can't believe your lies Once we were like bottle rockets Now I know I have to stop it Please believe me This isn't easy I just need to say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Losin' my mind Goodbye You got a new friend You like to play pretend I'm just keepin' my cool Turn on that smoke machine Magic and make-believe She'll never know you like I do Once we were a fire burnin' Now you're just a lesson I'm learnin' Please believe me This isn't easy I just need to say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Losin' my mind Goodbye I know that I can find somebody You won't ever find nobody else like me I know that I can find somebody You won't ever find nobody else like me I know that I can find somebody You won't ever find nobody else like me I know that I can find somebody You won't ever find nobody else like me Once we were like bottle rockets Now...
When I was a teenager I had a boyfriend who's father had gotten him this album and he loved it so much he went and bought me a copy. I must have played it over a hundred times. RIP Tom, you'll be missed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Petty
