Vanity Lyrics

feeling low again
insignificant
my thoughts and fears overcome my mind
i find that theres no easy way
to run from everything that's haunting me
i'm looking in the mirror for a smile
nothing is returned no matter how hard i try
could this be the last time
i look in the mirror at all

will i say goodbye
and throw it all away
or give it all to You

but i don't want to die
these tears that i cry
my pain is a child of my vanity

now it's sinking in
and i can't defend
the broken man that i've become
i find there's nothing here that i
made for myself and why
i let it fall apart
again looking in the mirror for a smile
nothing is returned no matter how hard i try
could this be the last time
i look for You at all

will i say goodbye
and throw it all away
or give it all to You

but i don't want to die
these tears that i cry
my pain is a child of my vanity

but what i can't see
is what You see inside me
help to see
what You see inside me

but i don't want to die
my pain is a child of my vanity
of my vanity

feeling low again
insignificant
my thoughts and fears overcome my mind
i find that theres no easy way 
to run from everything that's haunting me
i'm looking in the mirror for a smile
nothing is returned no matter how hard i try
could this be the last time
i look in the mirror at all

will i say goodbye
and throw it all away
or give it all to You

but i don't want to die
these tears that i cry
my pain is a child of my vanity

now it's sinking in
and i can't defend

again looking in the mirror for a smile

but i don't want to die
these tears that i cry

but what i can't see
is what You see inside me
help to see
what You see inside me

but i don't want to die
my pain is a child of my vanity
of my vanity

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.
