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
