[Verse 1]
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."

[Chorus]
But all I ever wanted was to make things right
All I ever wanted was to make things right

[Verse 2]
Transient love, I was a ghost on your birthday
I was a runaway, somewhere in a grave of mistake
Transient love, you should've seen the view from the pension
It made me think of things we never mentioned
The things we're too afraid to say

[Bridge]
Like what if I spend the next few years
Just somewhere in some atmosphere
While you're at home with bills to pay
I hope it doesn't end this way

[Chorus]
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
