the hardest part Lyrics

for your next trick, i'll volunteer
you can be quick, i'll disappear
and as for your questions:
i bite my lip to beat you
in proper position
i never had much to lose

'cause all you are is all you got
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
come on and stay
come on and start
i know the way
i know it's the hardest part

you have always got a smile beneath your sneer
even when i'm coming down, you make it clear
so what else could i do?
i hold my breath and shoot through
your friends talk about you
i'm sorry, what can i do?

'cause all you are is all you got
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
come on and stay
come on and start
i know the way
i know it's hard

and all you are is all you got
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
come on and stay
come on and start
i know the way
i know it's the hardest part

you miss all the stars
when you look for the light
tell me, would you die
for all the songs you write?
i watch you just like a TV show

'cause all you are is all you got
i tell the truth; i lie a lot
come on and stay
come on and start
i know the way
i know it's hard

and all you are is all you got
And i confess, i lie a lot
yes, all you are, it's all you got
it's all you got
it's all you got
it's all you got

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.

disagree, think it's a breakup. she wants to keep it friendly "the hardest part",he doesnt he just wants her to disappear she still likes him but because of the breakup she resents him a little "all you are is all you got", saying that he's got nothing just wat he does.... thusly because she still wants to b friends but it still hurts because of the breakup n there may still b some feelings there the song has multiple tones, sometimes teasing n sometimes mean.... but thats just my take, could just as easily b about wanting to get with a guy she's admired for a while
