I'd Rather Be Blind, Crippled And Crazy Lyrics

I've been stepped down, over and over again
Standing my ground, even though I know I can’t win
I’m tired, of you messin up my time
You got yours - let me, let me have mine

I’d rather be blind, crippled and crazy
Somewhere pushing up the daisies
Than to let you break my heart all over again

To break a man’s heart, all you need is pain
You’ve got me so messed up, about to go insane
You break a man’s heart, and don’t say nothin to him
I keep askin myself why you wanna do it? Why you wanna do it?

I’d rather be blind, crippled and crazy
Somewhere, pushing up the daisies
Than to let you break my heart all over again
Why you wanna do it baby?

I’d rather be blind, crippled and crazy
Somewhere, pushing up the daisies
Than to let you break my heart all over again
Why you wanna do it baby?
Oh, I keep askin myself why you wanna do it?
(rather be blind...crazy...rather be blind)

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.
