Crush the Flowers Lyrics

Here is my advice to you
Think about all that you do
If you don't like what you see
You only have to tell me

But I don't know what to do
Why should I listen to you?
If you could see what I see
You wouldn't listen to me

Are you really so hard?
Are you really so hard in your heart?
Are you really so hard?
Are you really so hard in your heart?

But I don't know what to do
Why should I listen to you?
If you could see what I see
You wouldn't listen to me

Are you really so hard?
Are you really so hard in your heart?
Are you really so hard?
Are you really so hard in your heart?

And when the sunshine's down
It shines upon our town
And everybody says
I want to, I want to

But when the angels come round
They'll stamp us into the ground
So how can I say
I want to grow some wings to fly away
(I want to run away, hey!)

Are you really so hard?
Are you really so hard in your heart?
Are you really so hard?
Are you really so hard in your heart?

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.
