Bad Timing Lyrics

(Bator/James)
I never said I loved ya
Leave off-I never cared
Just kept you 'round to do my cleanin'
You were just one of my chairs
Chorus
Don't you know that it was just bad timing?
You had a need to feel secure
Why did you leave me?
Don't want to be lonely
Why did you leave me?
Don't know how to show you
Can't you see that I need you
Awh...
You fill me with inertia
I don't share privacy, I don't want no friend
Our life together's got to end
Chorus
Can't show you, can't tell you
Awrhh!
You left a bood ring in my bath
You used my last blade on your veins
You never told me you were leavin'
You never talked about the pain
Chorus
Don't you know that it was just bad timing?
I just made you fee so insecure
Oh why did you leave me?
Did you feel that lonely?
Why did you leave me? The finish came between us
Can never be able to say that
I always....Loved ya'

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.
