Fear and Convenience Lyrics

I have seen fear and convenience
I have never glimpsed a romance
All my riches in the company van
I drove much faster than they ran

Did he hurt you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way
Did he hurt you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way

All our senses dry as cotton
Petrified hearts
Let 'em go if you got 'em
And all I can give
Hot water from my shower
My legs on your bed
So I do not think about her

But tell me did he hurt you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way
Tell me did he hurt you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way

Did he hurt you
In a new way
In a new way
In a new way

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.

"Did he hurt you? in a new way... "

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gosh I love that. it's not the hurt part, it's the fact that he found a new way to do it that no one else could. relates well again to the end of a relationship, especially when one or both persons are vindictive and seem to forget that they ever cared about the other person they are now hurting. It seems with every relationship there is a hurt that is new and different and therefore impossible to get used to. How can anyone get used to it [hurt] or just brush it off when every time it changes?

....Petrified hearts, let 'em go if you got 'em.

This song is so fantastic, it makes me sad only one person commented.

Her word choice is simple and poignant and says everything a broken girl has ever wanted to when they lose that first love.
