So Scared Lyrics

This autumn's got me feeling kind of strange, but then it's just like every season
I'm smiling but leaning slightly towards deranged
My mind's committing total treason
Tim says you're so 99', burning your bridges
You're not scared, you're petrified
I am no different
I'm not alright about screwing you over
I'm not about to be right so then why should I try?
Blurring what's right & tugging on that line
Like thread from the collar you've got me by
Notions keep crawling back into my bones, competing like kids
Craving attention
Telling lies two at a time, burning your bridges
Catastrophes reflect on why I am no different
I'm not alright on thinking it over
I'm not about to be right so then why should I try?
It's a sham and a pinch and that's all there is to it
Who's to blame when it hits?
So let's forget it
You're not scared, so why am I?
Burning your bridges...
Outta sight, out of my mind every once in a while
I'm not alright about fucking you over
I'm not about to be right, so then why should I try?
It's a sham...

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.

She's dumping a guy she still likes. She knows it's going to kill him, but she needs to be free "from the collar you've got me by." She feels terrible about it, feels like she's screwing him over and burning her bridges but knows it's something she has to do.

It's not often you get to hear a song from this perspective of the breakup. It's even less common to hear one so good.
