Sober Lyrics

i bought my lover a new best friend
to get him out of the rut he's in

800 ? ?
he hasn't bet on a single brand

but you're not what i want
and i'm not what you need
you ? ? a million ?
but you can't exchange me

well i'm tuning in to hear what he told her
and i'm one day off from overexposure
how can i just sit back when i'm two days closer to being cast over? and i'm not in love
well i'm sober i'm sober i'm sober i'm sober

i bought my lover a open book
he couldn't bother to take a look

but you're not what i want
and i'm not what you need
you take back a million words
but you can't erase me

well i'm tuning in to hear what he told her
and i'm one day off from overexposure
how can i just sit back when i'm two days closer to being cast over? and i'm not in love
well i'm sober i'm sober i'm sober i'm sober hey

and i'm tuning in to hear what he told her
and i'm one day off from overexposure
how can i just sit back when i'm two days closer to being cast over? and i'm not in love
i'm sober i'm sober i'm sober i'm sober

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.
