What Went Wrong Lyrics

You put these lies in my head. What did you take me for? I can't even count the nights I've cried. I'm fed up with all your lies. The wool's been pulled over for the last time. I learned to see past the lies. I have removed your hands from my ears. Now I can choose what I will hear. Coming to terms with what I have learned. For all of those concerned - what went wrong. What went wrong? When I was young I was so naive. I always though I knew what to believe. Fed lies from people I trusted. How could I know that they were corrupted. Your words means nothing. Your name breeds hate. To think I was trusting. Put my faith in your words. What did I get in return? The day came when I opened. Learned to get past all the lies. What did they hide - why did you lie?

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.
