I Knew I Should've Worn Red Lyrics

I haven't told you this yet
but I've been keeping this quiet
to keep you closer
I haven't told you this yet
I've labeled myself a liar
and you never lose
so try this one more time

keep me waiting
like it's all you wanted to know
and it's "over"
keep me guessing
because you're just that kind of girl
and it's "over"

all of your accidents show that
you're only as good as your worst intention
and your excuses get old and keep us falling apart
and you never change
so try this one more time

over and over, we're just getting closer
but "closer" is never the end
over and over, we're just getting closer
and everyone knows where this ends...

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.

i thought there would be at least 1 comment on this song... this song is good... i think this songs is about a guy liking a girl and the girl doesnt show the same or maybe she feels the same but doesnt want him to know because she is that type of girl... the guy keeps it as a secret because he is afraid the she might not like him and if he says something she might not want to be friends anymore...but they keep getting closer but they dont get to be boyfriend or girlfriend (or whatever the he wants)... but he wants her badly...i think... =) i heard thissong a while back ago.. =)
