Busted Lip Lyrics

i must have looked hysterical trying to get away
riding on an avalanche of things you just don't say
i wanted someone's company, but to her i'm just some guy
and i got a busted lip on a silent night

i was in your car that night going out of town
i know something's gotta go and i guess i'll go now
white knuckles on the wheel and a pain above
that's how mother nature treats everyone she loves

so drive out
so have a drink
got a silent busted lip
you wanna make me just like yourself
till i lie in tatters

he's looking at you now
like a little dove
true love blinking on and off
like a bad bulb
and when he breaks himself in two
you say you must be high
but people just always do
it makes them feel alive

so drive out
so have a drink
got a silent busted lip
you wanna make me just like yourself
till i lie in tatters

hey little bird sing!
hey little bird sing!
hey little bird sing!
hey little bird sing!

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.
