Dangerous and Sweet Lyrics

It's difficult to see
From the surface
But everything goes in
And it stings like a spider
Hits you deep inside and
I know that you are just like me
Oversensitive
We're an ordinary breed
Taking everything for much more than it means
It's dangerous and it's sweet
Cut us and we bleed...
All these words we speak casually
Well maybe I’m just weak but it hurts me
Everything you said
Everything you said
Everything you said
well it cuts like a knife
it hurts me deep inside and
...I should put on my armor
The next time I see you so I won’t be harmed
But I know I can shoot my own arrows
I’m sorry I hurt you
I know that like me you can be
Oversensitive...

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 really love this song! The theme is appropriate for a darker song, but instead it sounds very upbeat and cheerful.

I think the song's about a girl who uses a hurtful and harsh facade, but inside hides a vulnerable and weak personality. She then meets someone who likes her, but she isn't sure if she likes him back - so she treats him badly to shoo him off. But he just wouldn't quit, so she acts even worse to him; he may or may not realize that his feelings are not returned. He likes her so much, so he tries to ignore her outward mask. But one time, he couldn't take it anymore and snaps. He regrets it, as shown in the fourth paragraph.

That's either just my honest opinion, or because I've been rooting for the Belarus/Lithuania pairing lately from Axis Powers Hetalia.
