Clean Lyrics

I have betrayed, and I have fooled
I have destroyed, and I have lied
I have misled, and I have hurt
I was lazy, I let it happen
I have deceived, and I have cheated
I was greedy till I was sick

I wanna be clean
Wash me off of my sins
Wash them down the drain
I wanna be born again

I am evil, I am bad
I feel done and I feel dirty
I am so bored, I am guilty
I feel sick and I feel sad

Mirror, mirror, crack apart
Can't stand myself for another day
Mirror, mirror, I will pray
For you to reshape my heart

You can wipe my memory
Make me new, make me pure
I need to find the final cure
For my disease, my misery

I wanna be clean
Wash me off of my sins
Wash them down the drain
I wanna be born again

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.

This is probably not all right, but I am certain that "Mirror, mirror, I will pray For you to reshape my heart" is wrong. Actually, I think those lines are French. Let me know if you know the right lyrics. :)
