Clever Lyrics

Crush my only nerve
Overstate what you deserve
Crawling on the floor
One can see under the door

You're so clever, you never
Said we would last forever
I twist it, I missed it
Can't keep this thing together

Said hey, no way
Can't deal with this today
Yes I guess you're so clever

Crack your ready whip
Gentlemen shoot from the hip
Throw my fears away
I can't afford them anyway

You're so clever, you never
Said we would last forever
I twist it, I missed it
Can't keep this thing together

Said hey, no way
Can't deal with this today
Yes I guess you're so clever

(Bridge)

You're so clever, you never
Said we would last forever
I twist it, I missed it
Can't keep this thing together

Said hey, no way
Can't deal with this today
Yes I guess you're so clever

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.

Thornley is soooo gooodd. I can't wait for their next CD. I think this song is about a relationship that ended in a bad way and it seems like the other person seemed like she knew it would end.
