Sober Lyrics

Bought my lover a new best friend
To get him out of the rut he's in
800 options to pick through and
He hasn't bid on a single brand
But you're not
What I want
And I'm not
What you need
Order a
Million colors
But you can't
Exchange me
And I'm tuning in
To hear what he told her
And I'm one day off
From over-exposure
How can I just sit back when I'm 2 days closer to being passed over
And I'm not in love
When I'm sober, I'm sober, I'm sober
Got my lover an open book
He couldn't bother to take a look
But you're not
What I want
And I'm not
What you need
Take back
A million words
But you can't
Erase me
And I'm tuning in
To hear what he told her
And I'm one day off
From over-exposure
How can I just sit back when I'm 2 days closer to being passed over
And I'm not in love
When 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.
