Casualty Lyrics

Driving home I was miles away
When I thought that I saw your face
Late at night, a lightning flash
Put reality in it's place
I never saw the warning signs
'Til it was too late

I'm a casualty
A victim of my own circumstance
A casualty a hopeless case
I never stood a chance at all

I never knew what hit me
Like somebody put out the light
I was going crazy
Couldn't tell if it was day or night
I must have lost direction
A simple hit and run

I'm a casualty
A victim of my own circumstance
A casualty a hopeless case
I never stood a chance at all

Out of control on a one way street
Feeling myself beginning to slide
Out of my head too blind to see
That you were there just for the ride

Living a life, it's a tragedy
Why did this happen to me

I'm a casualty
A victim of my own circumstance
A casualty a hopeless case
That never stood a chance at all

I never stood a chance I'm a casualty
I never stood a chance I'm a casualty
I never stood a chance I'm a casualty

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.
