Risky Business Lyrics

You think you're blood to me and i think you're fucking wrong
What is there left to show for all the wasted years you've taken from me when the memory of your smile makes my head turn the other way
And what is there left to say after all the hollow things you've said to me, when just thinking about your touch leaves today feeling so empty
Every smile was a waste, wasted on your love
You think you're blood to me and i think you're fucking wrong
Cause you crossed the line one last time so i'm going through you if i can't get over you
I'm getting over you the only way i know how
Over you
You crossed the line from enemy to casualty the day you disrespected me

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.

Hrm... anyone seemed to notice the titles for all of the "Cover Your Tracks" albums are the names of movies staring Tom Cruise? Don't know if all of the songs are based on the movies because I haven't seen them all, but I'm sure there's some secret meaning behind it, ha ha.

Ok I think this song has something to do with a close relationship. Be it friend, girlfriend, lifelong acquaintence, whatever. And then he was wronged by them so badly whatever they had was destroyed. And it seems like it is going to end in violence (moving even more to the point this is about a friend, or possibly father but probably the former). "I'm getting over you the only way i know how, Over you." Shows that infact the only way to relieve himself of the pain is finally to burst and let it go. "You crossed the line from enemy to casualty the day you disrespected me" also points out it could be a friend turned fiend. That's my two cents.
