Help Wanted Lyrics

honestly,
i waste my time
i can't please everyone
constantly
you're overreacting
let me guess i bet you're still the victim
you'd like to think that you're so good at understanding
the fan is on high
but nobody's getting colder
this irritating noise just gives someone something to bitch about
i'll help you out
yeah
he's trying so hard maybe one day he'll learn
the hand reaching out is the one slapping him in the face
yeah maybe one day he'll learn from these mistakes
perfect
i'm so perfectly wrong
i'm perfect at making mistakes
i'm asserting myself but i'm not getting anywhere
yeah i'm so perfect
so perfectly wrong
i'm so perfect at making mistakes

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 love this song! My favorite part is: "the hand reaching out is the one slapping him in the face yeah maybe one day he'll learn from these mistakes." It's such a cool song!
