Tranquilizer Lyrics

I used to think when i was young
I used to think I was so strong
in all my days I'd never cry
i don't know why
I'd never cry
I'd rather hide

I used to think if I believed in all my dreams
I've never grieved
in all my days I'd never cry
i don't know why
I'd never cry
I'd rather hide

I'm not prepared (x 6)
I'm running scared

I need the strength to carry on
I need to feel that I am strong
I need to feel that I won't fall
I'll never crawl
No I won't fall
I'll never crawl

I'm not prepared (x 5)
I'm running scared
I'm not prepared

Open the doors
and bring it on
when we're together we are strong
there is no mountain we can't climb

I just need time (x3)

I'm not prepared (x 3)
I'm running scared
I'm not prepared (x3)
I'm running scared

Tranquilizer (x3)
(Rescue me)
Desensitize her
(Rescue me)
Tranquilizer
(Rescue me)
Tranquilizer
(Rescue me)

(Rescue me)
Tranquilizer

(Rescue me)

I need the strength to carry on

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.
