I'm Gonna Try Lyrics

Walking down the street and I wanna kill everyone I see
How come I don't like anyone that I meet?
And despite my antipathy I am longing to be someone better

In my heart is a violence that I cannot dispel
I've lost my mind I'm losing you it's just as well

I'm gonna throw on these old jeans and I'm gonna head out on the street
I'm gonna dream up a new dream and I'm gonna dance to a brand new beat
I'm gonna find a new desire then I'm gonna set this town on fire

I'm wearing a smile and it's fake but right now it has to be
'Cause I know that love is the only thing that's gonna save me
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try

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.
