I used to lie to myself all the time I was always over-reacting, screaming "I'm gonna die." But now I'm five thousand miles from a head on my shoulder From a night I spent sober, screaming "I'm gonna die." But all I ever wanted was to make things right All I ever wanted was to make things right Transient love, I was a ghost on your birthday I was a runaway, somewhere in a grave of mistakes Transient love, you should've seen the view from the mansion It made me think of things we never mentioned The things we're too afraid to say Like what if I spend the next few years Just somewhere in some atmosphere While you're at home with pills for pain I hope it doesn't end this way All I ever wanted was to make things right All I ever wanted was to make things right Over and over in my head I tried But all I ever wanted was to make things right
