Because of You Lyrics

I'm a part time fool
full time ringer
but I'd just like to let you know
I got it better
than any other fool I've ever known
some have said I'm a loser
I guess it's time to make a show
I've been a winner in so many ways
they'll never know
we've struggled hard
and dealt with that monster pride
and you're aware
who's gonna be there
whenever we begin to slide
because of you honey
the way we grow
I see the fruit of all our trials
because of you honey
the love you show
I see the truth
and I don't need eyes

some have said I'm a loser
I guess it's time to make a show
I've been a winner in so many ways
they'll never know
because of you honey
the love you show
I see the truth
and I don't need eyes
because of you honey
and the way we grow
I see the fruit of all our trials

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.
