My Fault Lyrics

You’re angry
And that’s my fault
I don’t know you
And that’s my fault
You hate me
And that’s my fault
I don’t know you
And that’s my fault

And you’re angry
And that’s my fault
You hate me
And that’s my fault
I don’t know you
And that’s my fault
And I know you
And that’s my fault
And you hate me
And that’s my fault
I can’t blame you
And that’s my fault

And I have one
And that’s my fault
It took a long time
That’s my fault
I don’t know you
And that’s my fault
I don’t owe you
And that’s my fault

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.

This song sounds like it was mostly improvised, so don't hold the lyrics against Isaac too much.
