Stained Glass Expectations Lyrics

Colored shards rain down like misguided confetti
How can something so beautiful cause so much dismay
Blood drops exclaim their existence
Running hand-in-hand with unending pain

[Chorus:]
I can
Do this alone
But why
Would I want to
My hands
Bleed all day long
My mind
Knows I could never reach you

I've sacrificed friendships, dismembered family
through everything I gained I threw my world away
What cost is worth your existence
When everyone you know has gone away?

[Chorus]

Here I stand broken-hand-anger management
I threw my life away throw everything away
This time I die to fight I'll reside under twilight
I threw my life away throw everything away

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.
