Sick Of Confidence Lyrics

I wish I couldn't remember
Half as well as I do
The things that you promised
Things that never came true
I wish I knew how to shut down
Get away from myself
I wish that I could erase this
Become something else
But I'll never forget this
And it's pullin' me down
I wonder if they'll notice
When I'm not around
I'm through with the winter
I'm done with the spring
I'm sick of confidence
I'm sick of everything

I wanna give you a present
In a box with a bow
And a tag that say not to open
'Til you know what I know
And wait 'til I'm buried
To tear it to bits
Take a look in the mirror
To see if it fits
I wanna give you a present
In a box with a bow
And if it looks to be empty
Well that's all that I know

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.
