I Came Here To Get Over You Lyrics

I came here thinking I could ease the pain
I came inspite of other's good advice
I came here thinking sweet, sweet revenge
Bring me some sugar, let the games begin

I made a lot of bad decisions
But tonight I'm breaking through
I came here to get over you

I had this dream about a wild bird
Black feathered, picking at your beating heart
You reach for me and shout "I need your love!"
Your tomb collapses when I call your bluff
Picking at your heart strings, I need your love

I started shaking when you told me
That you'd found somebody new
I came here to get over you

And the lights are burning like kerosene
I can't stop thinking about you and me
Did you cross your fingers when you told me you'd be true?

I came here to get
I came here to get
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you

I made a lot of bad decisions
But tonight I'm breaking through

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.

The way he says "kerosene" reminds me of Bob Dylan :)
