Constant Apology Lyrics

When I was younger I was not concerned with
Much of anything at all
I got picked up by everyone around me
I was not allowed to fall

I got a car and I started moving
But really went nowhere at all
I used to think that my mind was wasted
But now I can't recall

I live too fast, trying not to be last
Didn't take my time, so the timing passed
Now I feel like I am stuck
In a...

Constant apology

Why must I always feel so damn useless,
And bombarded with excuses?
Can't you see the softer side of my sorry little life?
Or at least try...

I live too fast, trying not to be last
Didn't take my time, so the timing passed
Now I feel like I am stuck
In a...

Constant apology

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.

all right dude, there is no need to repost the entire song when only one line was wrong. anyway. i love this song, and this cd is really good. one of the few newer drive-thru bands that are actually decent.
