Alibi Lyrics

Don't be ashamed
Closing your weary eyes
Nervous it in disguise
Covered in wide lies
Don't be afraid
No reason to run and hide
You know that I'm on your side
-
How much
Do you have to cover up
What have you done
How much
Do you have to cover up
Where will you run
-
You're looking for an alibi
Searching for some piece of mind
It's all in your head
So start this over again
You're looking for an alibi
Searching for some piece of mind
It's all in your head
So start this over again
-
No one to blame
You know your hands are tied
Feeling so paralyzed
Walking on fault lines
Must be a way
To not have to analyze
Live without thinking twice
-
How much
Do you have to cover up
What have you done
How much
Do you have to cover up
Where will you run
-
You're looking for an alibi
Searching for some piece of mind
It's all in your head
So start all over again
You're looking for an alibi
Searching for some piece of mind
It's all in your head
So start all over again

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 got this song through a special download thing when I purchased the CD from Wal Mart. So I was lucky : )
