That's All You Get Lyrics

I'm so unsure
What is the point?
I'm so tired of not sleeping at night
And I sure don't want to be unsure
Well, I'm sure not feeling alright
I'm so confused
And I only seem to be getting dizzier
And I'm so scared
Scared of everything I see in front of me

And I'll watch my chance as it passes
I don't think you can save me this time
But I'll try wearing your special glasses
Maybe they'll be clearer than mine

Chorus
I'm always
On my case
and I know
That I just can give myself a break
I'm on my case
I swear
I'm all the cause of my headache

Call me washed up, call me what you will
Just don't call me, to tell me how I feel
Cause I've already determined the problems
And they're all about you and I know how to solve them
So don't try and defend yourself this time
Cause I know your tricks, I've heard your lies
And they're all about wanting something more...
Wanting something you can't have before

Chorus

And I'll watch my chance as it passes
I don't think you can save me this time
But I'll try wearing your special glasses
Maybe they'll be clearer than mine

Chorus

Wasted Worries (full)

I'm so unsure
What is the point?
I'm so tired of not sleeping at night
And I sure don't want to be unsure
Well, I'm sure not feeling alright
I'm so confused
And I only seem to be getting dizzier
And I'm so scared
Scared of everything I see in front of me

And I'll watch my chance as it passes
I don't think you can save me this time
But I'll try wearing your special glasses
Maybe they'll be clearer than mine

Chorus
I'm always
On my case
and I know
That I just can give myself a break
I'm on my case
I swear
I'm all the cause of my headache

Call me washed up, call me what you will
Just don't call me, to tell me how I feel
Cause I've already determined the problems
And they're all about you and I know how to solve them
So don't try and defend yourself this time
Cause I know your tricks, I've heard your lies
And they're all about wanting something more...
Wanting something you can't have before

Chorus

And I'll watch my chance as it passes
I don't think you can save me this time
But I'll try wearing your special glasses
Maybe they'll be clearer than mine

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.
