The Drawbacks Lyrics

"Take 17..."

I'm always seein somethin new
everytime I look at you
Everything has gone a stray
I'm fallin to the floor,
my dignity sunked overboard
And everything has gone a stray

You make me think that I'm a fool
You make me think that I don't care about it all
I can't belong, I'm not that strong
But you can't remember me
I don't know
I can't remeber you
I've been here a thousand times
and I don't care

I've almost figured out
just what I'm ashamed to say
Everything is playin with my head
All my friends told me it's playin with my heart
And then they said I need to start

You make me think that I'm a fool
You make me think that I don't care about it all
I can't belong, I'm not that strong
But you can't remember me
I don't know
I can't remeber you
I've been here a thousand times
and I don't care

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.

i don't even know if this is kenny singing because it kinda sounds like him. he has a scratchy voice in this song so it was either from when he was younger or an unexplained reason to how it can't be kenny.......i dunno, but it's an awesome song. i guess a girl is playing with his heart....???
