Throwing Things Lyrics

I'm not saying this for the sake if it
I'll take so much and then i'll have to quit

i know how i feel
i know how i feel
the words don't fit

i can't speak, I can't speak, I can't speak
i think I've lost the art of conversation
things are looking bleak

please go easy on me
i don't know what's wrong with me
please be gentle with me
and take it easy, take it easy, take it easy
take it out on me

did i hear you right
did i hear you wrong
did i miss something

tell me who's the sleeping partner
who's the sleeping partner here?

cause you don't speak
and i don't speak,
we never seem to...speak

i think I'm deaf,
i think you're dumb,
you tell me

please go easy on me
i don't know what's wrong with me
please be gentle with me
and take it easy, take it easy, take it easy
take it out on me

now you're tying up my heart strings
I've got no halo, got no wings
we've got verbal constipation
let's start throwing things

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.
