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
