Ruin The Day Lyrics

last night didnt go to plan
ended before 9
drove u home u slammed the door
not your fault but mine

i often wonder why i say
the things i shouldnt say
but then again its always me
who has to ruin the day

i throw the stone to break your heart
and watch the pieces fall
im on my knees to pik them up
why did they fall at all?

i often wonder why i say
the things i shouldnt say
but then again its always me
who has to ruin the day

wells in your eyes are killing me
i cannot bare to see
wells in your eyes are killing me
tears that shouldnt be.

i often wonder why i say
the things i shouldnt say
but then again its always me
who has to ruin the day...

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.

yeah TSL i cant find enywhere to download it. this song is one of the first from TSL though. my brother was into the guys right fro their formation and managed to get his hands on a copy of a demo tape which got me into TSL. "Ruin the Day" is from a demo tape from 1999 for radio stations throughout the Pen state area. Was part of a three-single-demo which included another 'quiet' singles called "Forgetting Yesterday" and "Halfway Home". I still have the tape in my collection but havnt seen it anywhere else...i lik the lyrics though, which Ken dedicated to an old g/f.......
