Protecting What Means The Most Lyrics

I just wanted to help you,
It wasn't meant to make you mad,
you are the best thing I have ever had.

I didn't mean to upset you,
I didn't mean to bring you down,
I didn't mean to be another stupid asshole and little prick.

I only wanted to protect you,
It wasn't meant to pull us apart,
I hope you still care inside your heart.

I didn't mean to upset you,
I didn't mean to bring you down,
I didn't mean to be another stupid asshole and little prick.

I just wanted to help you,
It wasn't meant to make you mad,
you are the best thing I have ever had.
I only wanted to protect you,
It wasn't meant to pull us apart,
I hope you still care inside your heart.

I didn't mean to upset you,
I didn't mean to bring you down,
I didn't mean to be another stupid asshole and a dumbass dick.
I just wanted to make you happy,
I just wanted to take you with me,
I never want us to end or ever fall apart.
I'm hoping now,
that you will see,
just how much,
you mean to me.
I never want us to end or ever fall apart.
Or ever fall apart,
please don't fall apart,
and I won't fall apart, apart.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

oh yeah, this song was horrible at first recording. Definitly agree with you there. But of course, I dont do it to make you happy, I do it to vent so no biggy. Plus ever since Dashboard came out everyone is all into the acoustic emo shit. Anyway, the other band is better anyway, so EMO__GIRL, I hope you feel better now that you can diss another person's music. Must make you very happy.
