Suffer Lyrics

I saw my old friend the other day
It'd been 3 years since I went my separate way
I left him when he needed me the most
And up until this day I claimed innocence

Chorus 2X
And you suffered
I didn't mean to let you suffer
I didn't mean to let you suffer
I didn't mean to let you down

Nothing left for me at all
For selfish reasons
I let a good friend fall
For circumstances that were beyond his control
I no longer claim my innocence

I didn't mean to let you down
I didn't mean to let you down
I didn't mean to let you down
I didn't mean to let you down

Chorus

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.

Wow... I think this is an amazing song, it's so good and it's obvious what it talks about, but this brings me back old memories of old friends :(

i had my ipod on shuffle recently and this song came on. i've had teh home grown cd for a few yrs but i guess id never listened to this song. i was really missing out because this song has become one of my recent favorites. i love the way he signs and the message. i have been in this situation before, i was the one that suffered when my best friend of 8yrs decided to ditch me for a girl he just met. it sucks, but his song is amazing and i cant belive their arent more comments?!?
