Whatever I Build, I Break Lyrics

Looking back on brighter days
Wondering how things ever got this way
I turn my back on things I need

You see I always knew better
Yeah, I always knew better
I always knew better, now what's changed?

It's a sign of broken times
When I feel like breaking down in front of you to cry
I try to fight for your mind

But you always knew better
Yeah, you always knew better
You always knew better, now what's changed?

Whatever I make, I make mistakes
Whatever I build, I break
Whatever I pour, evaporates
Whatever I build, I break

When you gonna cut me down to size?
Cause I know this life I'm living is all a lie
And little white lies always multiply

I always knew better
I always knew better
I always knew better, now what's changed?

Whatever I make, I make mistakes
Whatever I build, I break
Whatever I pour, evaporates
Whatever I build, I break

Looking back on brighter days
Wondering how things ever got this way

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.
