Adelaide Lyrics

I should pray for Adelaide
But she wouldn't win this fight
Black and blue dear Adelaide
So many scars to hide

Waving my hands
You don't break
You don't understand
Lie to my face
Run away
You're just that kind of man

Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can't hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go, I just gotta let go
I don't wanna cry about it
i don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go

I should pray for Adelaide
But she don't hear a goddamn word that I say
Oh I'm so ashamed of Adelaide
How do you justify every moment he takes
Waving my hands
You don't break
You don't understand
Lie to my face
Run away
You're just that kind of man

Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can't hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don't wanna cry about it
I don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
I don't wanna cry about it
i don't wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go

And I'm buried in the silence
My eyes are closed
Got me like a spider
Trapped in your...

You can't hold me down boy x9

I should pray for adelaide
but she wouldnt win this fight
black and blue dear adelaide
so many scars to hide

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.

It sound like it might be about someone (Adelaide) who should get out of an abusive relationship, but doesn't: "black and blue dear Adelaide, so many scars to hide". The person narrating - which could be Adelaide - is ashamed of Adelaide (herself) because of this and wants desperately to get out of the relationship despite not doing anything to do that; it's like they know being with the guy is poison for them, but they can't make themselves leave no matter how much they should/desire to do so.
