Retread Lyrics

My girl is just a retread
I lost her when I hit the brakes
Our love hits science fiction levels
Now I'm bending like I've made a mistake

Here I stand afraid
With no more to say

And now I feel so insecure
I can't save something I feel so much for
Won't you stay, and leave a light for me

Now I found myself redeemed cos no one seen the bad in me
Or been where I've been
And not turned to leave

And now I feel so insecure
I can't save something I feel so much for
Won't you stay
You know if you had a wing you'd be the last to know you could fly
He strokes your hair to keep you down

Will you fight?
I'll see you fight
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?
Will you fight?

The good will out and I'll come clean
There's nothing in between
You and me so let me go my way.

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.

An old friend of mine at my last school (4 years ago now) was being bullied, and I felt as hard as I tried I couldn't stop her from feeling hurt, mainly because she was too naive and paranoid herself.

I also thought I was in love with her, which also ate me up cos I knew she wasn't right for me and people would hate me for taking advantage of her.

The lyric 'I feel so insecure, I cant save something I feel so much for' has always struck me.

I can't believe the lack of comments on this song. To me its about a guy who has split from his girlfriend and now he wants her back so badly. I love the way Danny sings Will you fight? because he sound like he's singing it straight from the heart. I've recently split with my girlfriend but I'm still fighting for her but I'm not sure if she'll fight to get back with me so the line "There's nothing in between You and me so let me go my way." I wishs she'd just let me know there is no chance at all so I can move on with my life instead of standing still waiting for something I'll never have.

Love it 10/10!!
