Claire Hates Me Lyrics

If it's time you're needing
Then borrow mine for a while
If it's love you're needing
Come on, get mine for a while
If it's minds you're needing
I'll try and clean mine for a while
And if it's low you're feeling
I'll get you high for a while

Say I fooled you, ha
I fooled you, ha ha

I am Cain
But I'm not able
To wish this chair
To a table
Drive me home
Make me leave
And I can't be sure
If Claire hates me

If it's stars you're seeing
I'll make you blind for a while
And if it's Christmas you're needing
I'll make it snow for a while
And if it's mean you're feeling
I'll change your mind for a while
And if it's low you're feeling
I'll get you high for a while

Say I fooled you, ha
I fooled you, ha ha

I am Cain
But I'm not able
To wish this chair
To a table
Drive me home
Make me leave
And I can't be sure
If Claire hates me

And I forgot a long time ago
How you feel
And I forgot a long time ago
How to feel

If it's time you're needing
Wear a watch for a while

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 almost dismissed Lilys until I heard this song. I gave the album another listen and now I'm in love with them
