You Get That From Your Mother Lyrics

Giving up on me, you get that from your mother
Sadder melodies we've yet to discover
Summer is the lie, summer is the killer
I hope you'll be alright, I hope that you get better

Peel back my beliefs, to reveal my fears
Medicate this moment, wishing that you were here

A murder of crows, picking at a carcass
When a want becomes a need, you can't stop once you started
Sad but not surprised, another time with feeling
Laying on the bed staring at the ceiling

Sticking with you, maybe too long
Hating your lyrics, but loving your song

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.

i think this is about being in a relationship with someone with a drug dependency or some other addiction. you want to get out of the relationship but you love eachother too much so your hands are tied. however this reminds me of my boyfriend, he is away for a long time but i cant end it, i love him too much. i want to see him, and i dont know when that want becomes a need..
