Do you know what it's like when
You're scared to see yourself
Do you know what it's like when
You wish you were someone else
Who didn't need your help to get by
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
(never surrender)
Do you know what it's like when
You're not who you wanna be
Do you know what it's like to
Be your own worst enemy
Who sees the things in me I can't hide
Do you know what it's like to wanna surrender
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
Make me feel better
You make me feel better
You make me feel better
Put me back together
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
Put me back together
Never surrender
Make me feel better
I need to feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
You're scared to see yourself
Do you know what it's like when
You wish you were someone else
Who didn't need your help to get by
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
(never surrender)
Do you know what it's like when
You're not who you wanna be
Do you know what it's like to
Be your own worst enemy
Who sees the things in me I can't hide
Do you know what it's like to wanna surrender
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
Make me feel better
You make me feel better
You make me feel better
Put me back together
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
Put me back together
Never surrender
Make me feel better
I need to feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender

Before I read this comments I didn't know Skillet is a Christian band, so I didn't even think about the possibility of it being about god. Maybe it is, but because to me it is just like a situation I know I thought about something else...
It could be about depression, wishing to be someone else who is able to be happy while the singer feels bad all the time, hating yourself, and not being able to accept help. Only you can see the bad things (which are probably not even there, or not that worse as you see them). You just want to give up (surrender). But after a long time you want to get better and get out of this situation, part because you have met someone who can help you and someone you are able to talk to about the situation.
Just because I have experienced this situation, made me think about it when I heard the song. But it could be about something entirely different, who knows?
--sorry if my english is quite bad... I'm still trying to improve it.
I can't seem to edit the comment above... but I just want to say this does not mean the singer is depressed or something like that. It's just my interpretation of the song.
That interpretation is perfectly fine. This song applies to many things, specific to the listener. Though I believe that the heart of the song is refering to God.
