This Life of Mine Lyrics

In this world there is too much dying
Too much pain and too much crime
A lot of people tell me life is fine
But they don't know this life of mine
Hurts me all the time now
All right
Well I'm gonna try, try so hard
Get somewhere, be somebody
Sometime
This life of mine

But I was born on the wrong side of the track
I'm gonna leave and I ain't coming back
Nobody tells me life is fine
I don't like this life of mine
I was born with a fist in my face
I've been trod on by the whole human race
I'm getting out, I'm leaving it behind
'cause I don't like this life of mine
Hurts me all the time now
All right
Well I'm gonna try, try so hard
Get somewhere, be somebody
Sometime
This life of mine

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.
