Pseudothryrum Song Lyrics

Why do you treat me this way
Why do you try so hard
To break my spirits
I think someone was mean to you
When you were little
That's what I think
I think someone was mean to you
Why do you cling to such petty points
Of contention
Why won't you allow anyone to solve your dreams
Now and then
I think someone was mean to you
When you didn't deserve it
That's what I think
I think someone was mean to you
But I, I'm not that guy
Can you get that straight
I am a completely different person
Than the one you have in mind
Why do you stand by the things you say
Long after you don't need to hurt anybody anymore
I think someone was mean to you
For a long, long time
I think someone was mean to you

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.
