Cut Brake Lines Lyrics

Verse 1:
I had a dream I fell from the clouds
Through the darkest depths of your heart
And I fell to the ground
Lied there and looked to the stars
I jumped all for you
The pain is unbearable
Emotion is much stronger than
The pain that I physically feel

Chorus:
I wondered what this was for
Cuz' I always wanted more
I couldn't stop
Please someone save me
I felt the pain in my back
As I grabbed the reigns I never looked back
I hoped that you would rescue me
And let me go free

Verse 2:
The shooting pain as I drift away
Into this eternal sleep
Tells me nothing for my cause
It only tells me why I did this
I lie and the stars fade away
And the pain leaks as I pray
You will remember me and this cause
As my life comes to pause

Bridge:
You never resuced me
and I fell
You never rescued me
I fell for misery
You never rescued me
and I fell
You never rescued me
And I never looked back

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 think Kevin was just rambling on about something that no one but himself understands...

I've never heard of this band or this song...and I can't find it on Kazza or anything, but they lyrics are awesome. It makes a lot of sense to me and I feel almost the same way a lot of the time...to me it seems to talk about betrayel.....I could be wrong but thats how I take it.
