I'm used to rolling out of bed
With a ringing in my head
Feeling half, feeling half dead
Spinning with the room
All the liquor I consumed
At the time it was a clever idea

Useless, always seem to confuse things
Try my best to undo it
All the things that I've done (done)
Later, I get messed up in empty bars
I was crazy til' your love
Came and sobered me up (up)

My hand on my heart to behave
Baby, you make me not make those mistakes

I'm used to rolling out of bed
With a ringing in my head
Feeling half, feeling half dead
Spinning with the room
All the liquor I consumed
At the time it was a clever idea
Those were the days I used to know
Baby, you got me letting it go
'Cause waking up with you got me feeling brand new
Yeah, I'm better now, better now, oh

Oh-woah, woah
I'm better now, better now

Tempting, may be times that I'm tested
That don't mean that I'm recklessly playing with you (you)
Oh, it just means that I'm human
Yeah, you've heard my excuses
And I know that you know who I was just won't do, oh

My hand on my heart to behave
Baby, you make me not make those mistakes

I'm used to rolling out of bed
With a ringing in my head
Feeling half, feeling half dead
Spinning with the room
All the liquor I consumed
At the time it was a clever idea
Those were the days I used to know
Baby, you got me letting it go
'Cause waking up with you got me feeling brand new
Yeah, I'm better now, better now, oh

Oh-woah, woah
I'm better now, better now

My hand on my heart to behave
Baby, you make me not make those mistakes
Make you a promise I'll try not to break, ah-oh (ah-oh, ah-oh)

I'm used to rolling out of bed
With a ringing in my head
Feeling half, feeling half dead (feeling half dead)
Spinning with the room
All the liquor I consumed
At the time it was a clever idea (clever idea)
Those were the days I used to know
Baby, you got me letting it go (letting it go)
'Cause waking up with you got me feeling brand new
Yeah, I'm better now, better now, oh

Oh-woah, woah
I'm better now, better now
Oh-woah, woah

I'm better now, better now, oh
I'm better now, better now, oh
I'm better now, better now, oh
