Broken Arrow/Blues for J.R. Lyrics

I can hear that song, oh baby
That old song
The one thats inside me blue and rusted
You know the ones you like when I am wrong

All busted up and sad
Proud of just how bad it is

City life seems so quiet
Seems so broken
I feel like a broken arrow in your side
Like a broken arrow broken arrow

In your side
In your side
In your side

And I am so sorry
You can't know how much it means to me

I feel weak again, so scary battle thought I'm never gonna rest
I imagine you are peaceful eyes so wide and arms across your chest

Busted up and sad
Proud of just how bad it is
Busted up and sad
Not proud of how it is

City life it seems so quiet
Seems so broken
I feel like a broken arrow in your side
Broken arrow in your side

I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
You can't know how much it means to me

Broken arrow
Broken arrow

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.
