Wouldn't Be So Bad Lyrics

Take me back to Anona street
Fill my glass again
With a bittersweet
Cause I don't wanna see
The life I have
Thought the next time around
Wouldn't be so bad

Same mistake that I made before
I'll be waking up
On the kinlin' floor
While the bells are ringing
So low and sad
Thought the next time around
Wouldn't be so bad

Same mistake that I made before
I'll be waking up
On the kinlin' floor
I remember how
I made you mad
Thought the next time around
Wouldn't be so bad

I Thought the next time around
Wouldn't be so bad
Thought the next time around
Wouldn't be so bad

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 thought I might leave a comment about this song because it’s an amazing song and one I can relate to.

Take me back to Anona Street

She/ he maybe has a mate in Anona Street and there close so she/ he tells what’s happening. Fill my glass again With a bittersweet
She/ he really upset about what’s going and she/he doesn’t really care what is in the glass as long as its alcohol, wants the glass toped up. Cause I don't wanna see The life I have
What ever is happening must be bad for her/ him to say that. Thought the next time around Wouldn't be so bad
I get the idea of maybe his/her partner is fighting, snapping at each other, maybe the partner is abusive or maybe there one of their family/ mum/ dads is abusive (just saying, could be an other meaning). Same mistake that I made before I'll be waking up On the kinlin' floor While the bells are ringing So low and sad
She/ he has done this before, maybe in an other relationship and they had to end it because it was getting out of hand and they couldn’t handle it anymore and its just an repeat of what happened and he/ she cant believe what happening. Maybe she/ he told the partner happened last time round but has completely forgot. She/ he goes to a church to seek peace and time to think about what’s going on and really doesn’t know what to do because they love the person and doesn’t want the same happening like the last time but it looks like they’ll need to. I remember how I made you made mad
She/ he keeps doing what is making other person mad but doesn’t know how to stop what’s making them mad at them, and by the sounds of it they keep saying sorry but it hard to stop what there doing. Maybe there a heck of an lot going on with them but doesn’t want to tell the partner because she/ he doesn’t want them getting uberly worried about it. I Thought the next time around Wouldn't be so bad
They keep repeating this because they mean it and its hope that it will get better.

I don’t know what everyone else thinks but that’s what I see and I would like to hear everyone thoughts on this â˜º
