Refrain Lyrics

please refrain,
cause i can't take your..
your constructive criticism anymore
what the hell have you been building anyways?
'tween you and me?
just a barricade?
i gotta say..

i can do so much better than this
i know i know
i took the easy road again
and as for sellin' myself short
i have become notorious
oh i know how it goes
this is the part where i realize that i'm alone

you always told me to be mature
well i just dont know myself anymore
whats the point of bein grown up anyways?
so i can be like you?
and give it all away?
i got to say

i can do so much better than this
i know i know
i took the easy road again
and as for sellin' myself short
i have become notorious
oh-ohh, i know how it goes
this is the part where i realize that i'm alone

and everybody wants to fall in love
in cinematic fashion
i dont, i dont
and everybody wants to fall in love
in cinematic fashion
i dont, i dont.

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.

It kinda sounds like it's about one of her parents and her relationship. (except for the falling in love mention) "i can't take your.. your constructive criticism anymore," and "you always told me to be mature..... whats the point of bein grown up anyways? so i can be like you?"
