Bye Bye Lyrics

I couldn't change him if I tried
I couldn't be his dollie even if I wanted to
'Cause I'm me, not you

I couldn't be a little girl
I couldn't walk around like I had no clue
'Cause I'm me, not you

Look where you've got me this time:
I'm up against the wall like I committed a crime

Take care
I hope never to see you here
Bye-bye
I promise not to cry
Bye-bye

I couldn't lead them on like mice
i couldn't fool them all, that's not something I do
'Cause I'm me, not you

I couldn't hide my purple eyes
I couldn't swallow them and not even chew
'Cause I'm me, not you

Look where you've got me this time:
I'm up against the wall like I committed a crime

Take care
I hope never to see you here
Bye-bye
I promise not to cry
Bye-bye

Your disguise is not fooling me
Your embrace is not comforting
And I can't follow you around
'Cause I see your evil ways
And it kills your innocence
(But I still followed you around...)

Take care
I hope never to see you here
Bye-bye
I promise not to cry
Bye-bye

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.

Abuse? By her father? Anyone know?

That's what I was thinking too. It definitely sounds like abuse, but it doesn't sound like a relationship... So I'm thinking parent or mentor/teacher abuse, but I'm not really sure.

I think its not quite that deep in this song, she was 14 when she wrote it and I think probably just an old school relationship that lead her into trouble like "you smoke alot" ^^
