All My Life Lyrics

Just look for sunshine to the burning fool time
To be filled with hatred for the time I've wasted
And I'm so impatient for a new sensation
God knows what I thought I'd do
I bit my own sweet heart in two

All my life
I thought I needed all the things
I didn't need at...
All my life
I thought I wanted all the things
I didn't want at all

Just to hold my heartbeat in a box by my feet
To be filled with glory, just speak a story
Can you feel the thunder from the cloud I'm under?
God knows how will I get through
I bit my own sweet heart and blew it

All my life
I thought I needed all the things
I didn't need at...
All my life
I thought I wanted all the things
I didn't want at...
All my life
I thought I needed all the things
I didn't need at...
All my life
I thought I wanted all the things
I didn't want at all

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.
