Glass Jaw Lyrics

Take away all of your suicidal promises
I can't take that blame no more
I'd complain
If you thought something might come out of this
But I let that just split by

I've been down before
I'm no stranger to the canvas
I'll kiss the floor and watch the world turn aroud

So you could say that I amount to nothing anyway
But I have been your big mistake
Shift the blame
Kill everything I ever did for you
Giving me my black eye

I've been down before
I'm no stranger to the canvas
I'll kiss the floor and watch the world turn around

I keep my glassjaw out of your way
There's nothing left to say
Cause I couldn't lift my head to face you anyway

So you can say that I amount to nothing anyway
But I have been your big mistake
Take away all of your suicidal promises
Cause I can't take the blame no more

I've been down before
I'm no stranger to the canvas
I'll kiss the floor and watch the world turn around

I'll keep my glassjaw out of your way
There's nothing left to say
Cause I couldn't lift my head
I'll keep my glassjaw out of your way
There's nothing left to say
Cause I couldn't lift my head to face you anyway

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.

The last line of the first verse refers to the fighting:

"My lip that you split wide"
