Alkaline Trio – If You Had A Bad Time Lyrics 9 years ago
The lyrics are wrong in several places. I tried to edit them, but either couldn't figure out how to submit it properly or there's some sort of delay/verification.

The most errors are in the chorus. It says (emphasis added):

"Loud and clear IF YOUR LIFE'S big and bright
OF the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down
NOW you're one of those things I don't know
No big deal, gotta go"

It should say (emphasis added):

"Loud and clear IS YOUR HEART, big and bright
ARE the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down
WHY you're one of those things, I don't know
No big deal, gotta go"

Also, Dan skips a "Just" in "Just some words of advice" in the second chorus, and it's "We get crazy with AGE" not "We get crazy with IT."

The full lyrics should be:

"If you had a bad time at one of my parties
Well I wouldn't expect to be seeing you soon and that's fine
You have to know what and why, those things make you happy
You have to know that a second guess ain't worth the try

Just some words of advice
Maybe you've heard them before but here goes
Just be true to yourself, if it lands you in hell
Well at least now you know

Loud and clear is your heart, big and bright
Are the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down
Why you're one of those things I don't know
No big deal, gotta go

If you're up to your ears in blood, sweat, and wasted years
I'm hoping you're going to open your throat and just scream
You have to know when, why, which ones miss you when you die
You have to know that a second guess ain't worth the salt in your eye

Some words of advice
Maybe you've heard them before but here goes
Just be true to yourself if it lands you in hell
Well at least now you know

Loud and clear is your heart, big and bright
Are the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down
Why you're one of those things, I don't know
No big deal...

If your seat's on my shoulders you're breaking my neck
We get crazy with age, and now you're under my bed
And it's dark all the time, all the time

Just some words of advice
Maybe you've heard them before but here goes
Just be true to yourself if it lands you in hell
Well at least now you know

Loud and clear is your heart, big and bright
Are the places you might someday go
With one million things holding you down
Why you're one of those things I don't know
No big deal, here I go"
