Shattered Fairytale Lyrics

broken on the ground
helpless to every sound
my house of glass
lays in the gutters
I've stumbled, I've fallen
I've eaten dirt
I can't get up
I'm too hurt
mend me
then break me again
the cycle is painfully repeating
hardly breathing in
forgetting to breathe out
I can't go on in this torture chamber
but I can't get out
my world is turned upside down
and twisted all around
I lay frozen on the earth
my garments drenched in my tears
I watch
as you ride off into the sunset
with your beautiful princess
yet here I stay
you leave me broken
in the dark ...

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.
