You're No Good Lyrics

Deceitful unforgiving
Whoever the hell you think I am
Bring me to my knees
Let me be myself again
Forgive, forget
Hold it against me in contempt
Drowning me in tears
Bitter salt that knows no fear

I'm better off alone
Keep to myself so nobody knows
Misery follows me everywhere I go

Hello hello I'm back again
Run run run run while you can
Hello hello I'm back it's me
The mother load of misery
You're no good
Misery follows me wherever I go

Deranged in paranoia
I am just no use at all
Don't count on me
I won't be responsible

Punishing discontent
Gotta get a grip
My mind's working overtime
Twisting in a tourniquet
Ticking like a timebomb
Another pound of flesh
Red alert emergency
I'm headed for a crash

To have to hold
All in good time
I'd ruin that too
I'm better off alone
Keep to myself
So nobody knows
Misery follows me wherever I go

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.

you're no good is very clearly about someone with depression and how they let misery consume their life. it's to the point where it gets in the way of being in a happy relationship. the singer falls into a deeper depression and develops suicidal tendencies (downright trying to commit via car crash) this misery is "personified" by sascha's lines. most would assume this is who the you're no good part is directed to but the singer is talking about themself. wallowing in misery and self loathing the singer only reiterates these negative feelings and never moves past them
