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...
Chapter 2 (Part 2) The next morning was Saturday, her day off, so she woke early and left for a jog. She pushed herself harder this morning because of the anger she felt over giving more emotions towards Remy than she had expected. He was all she thought about. The last months had been wonderful. The way he ultimately made her feel was wonderful. Was she falling in love because of how he made her feel about herself or because of who he was? Who was Remy? She didn't even know. That was something she SHOULD know. Why had she not asked more personal questions all these months? It was as if just being around him made her accept whatever he did or said. He knew all about her. All about lonely little twenty-three-year-old Astrid. It was near three in the afternoon as she was folding laundry that she heard his car. What a surprise, she thought, happily going to open the door. Remy had only once before stopped by unannounced. It pleased her that he'd decided to stop by after hav...
