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
