Nothing To Prove Lyrics

i should be able
to get over yourself
nothing given means nothing can get kicked around
i fear you
and i occasionaly think too
your insecurity makes livin' life tough on me
but i don't know if you feel this way all the time
hear me i don't think you're right
i know you've got nothing to prove
and i ponder why you're always trying to take what's mine
hear me i won't fight you
i know you got nothing to prove

i'm always able
to get over myself
i still remember how you helped me figure it out
i fear you
and i occasionaly think too
your insecurity pollutes your bouts of purity
but i don't know if you feel this way all the time
hear me i don't think it's right
i know you got nothing to prove
and i ponder why you're always trying to take what's mine
hear me i won't fight you
i know it's not my way
i guess now you know why i never call
i guess now you know why i never call
i guess now you know why i yeah

We should be able
to get over ourselves
time in small quantity
i think would work very well
and i don't know
why you feel this way all the time hear
me i don't think you're right
i know you've got nothing to prove
and i ponder why you're always trying to
take what's mine
hear me i won't fight you
you know it's not my way
i guess now you know why i never call
i guess now you know why i never call
i guess now you know why i

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.
