Off My Chest Lyrics

so many times i stood around
and never spoke my mind, as it boiled inside
so many words and questions
left to work out on my own
looked down upon for seeing different sides
i've got nothing to hide
you never listened to what i had on my mind
you just pushed me aside
you'll never know all the things i've seen
so don't tell me how to think
all your reasons make me sick
when communication is where it begins
so what's left to say when you won't change?
we'll stand on different ground until the end
and that's the way it will always be
it's going to eat me alive until i get it off my chest

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.

Fantastic song. It's just about keeping stuff bottled up inside for too long and realising the need for catharsis.

These lyrics are SOOOO far off!!!

It's:

So many times i fucking stood around and never spoke my mind, as it boiled inside So many words and fucking questions Left to work out on my own Looked down upon for seeing different sides I've got nothing to hide You never listened to what I had on my mind You just pushed me aside

Off my chest I gotta get it off my chest.

You'll never know how much shit I see So don't tell me I don't fucking think Your fucking reasons they fucking make me sick Communication that's where it begins

Off my chest. I gotta get it off my chest.

so what's left to say when you won't fucking change? we'll stand on different ground until the fucking end and that's the way it will always be

That's how you want it? That's how you got it. At least it's fucking... OFF MY FUCKING CHEST

it's going to eat me alive until i get it off my chest

BEST SONG EVER
