Anthem for a New Amanda Lyrics

you can sing all you want but i'm not a know-it-all
and i miss you a lot, but this ain't the time or place for dial tones
you can sing all you want but i'm not a know-it-all
you say if "thats all you got, its no wonder we don't speak" but don't look now
cuz you wont see me
you can sing all you want but i'm not a know-it-all
and i miss you a lot, but this ain't the time or place for sayin' so
and i know
you always think much better of this town
when i'm not around
so don't look now
cuz you wont see me
and i'm sure you'll understand
i need an anthem for a new amanda

one that doesn't hate my guts

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.
