It Could Be a Good Excuse (Demo) Lyrics

Blind on a ledge, not a thing, not a...
Road of broken heart, not a thing. Not at all

You know...
Of things we hear, nothing's there.. nothing.
She said "Why do you watch me?" said 'why?'
You know..
Maybe a good excuse not to give a fuck.
But I... Care For You. Said alright.
Could be a good excuse.

Full of love, just returned, just when..
You lied, it hurt and your pride... your pride.
Hurt pride.

And it is... not a thing...not a...you
It hurt, Nothing. And me.
It is...these games are nothing

Maybe a good excuse not to give a fuck
But I...
But I don't want you. And don't want me.
These. games. are nothing.

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.

someone playing games with you. one second they care, the next they don't. they want sympathy, but they don't actually need it. and win they can't when, it hurts their pride.
