Car Alarm Lyrics

I'll be damned if you blame me
I'm not a prize like you can just claim me
Did you think you could break me
Try to crush me beneath you completely
I know you broke the window
Took the cash and slipped out the back door
I hope you're happy now

I don't mean to be the first to let you know
But you don't get to me no

I'll be damned if you find me
As I put all of this behind me
I hope the glass cut your fingers
I hope you get soaked when it's raining
I'll be damned if you get this
I could floor you with one kiss
But you want it all

And I mean to be the first
To let you know
You don't get to me no

Now I mean to be the first
To let you know
You don't get to me no

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.

Car Alarm is actually about one of TJ's ex girlfriends who decided to break into his car after they broke up. It destroyed all the sense of security he had. So he wrote a kick ass song
