Reckless Kind Lyrics

Here we stand in sheets of rain
Parting ways, loved in vain
Never knew you'd be the reckless kind
I reached out to catch your fall
Said you needed a place to crawl
Never knew you'd be the reckless kind
The reckless kind
The reckless kind
You're his, not mine
Say you run with a breakneck crowd
Live your love scenes right out loud
Break hearts all around you're the reckless kind
Said you were well satisfied
Proud to see me by your side
Pride's a worthless thing to the reckless kind
The reckless kind
The reckless kind
Love lies shattered on the ground
Jagged pieces all around
Say you'll come back, but I know you're the restless kind
The reckless kind
The reckless kind
You're his, not mine
His, not mine
The reckless kind
The reckless kind

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.
