My Own Ideals Lyrics

Dear Father I’m sorry, I can’t be what you want of me.
Dear son I’m sorry, you disappoint me.
Dear Father I have my own ways my own ideals.
Dear son why can’t you be like us, lie and cheat and steal?

These are the things I always wanted to say to you.

Wake up dad, I’m not becoming you.
Wake up father, I’m not who you think I am.
I am my own man I am my own self.
Goodbye, goodnight, I’m tired of this hell.
Dear Father I’m sorry, I can’t be what you want of me.
Dear son, I’m sorry you disappoint me.

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.
