Hands of the Clock Lyrics

I was selfish, had no desire, unfaithful, and uninspired. I hated myself and I grew tired of covering the truth with a smile to make it better. I needed you to help me but all I wanted was just some piece of company. I was desperate to feel something and if I did anything to hurt you I’m sorry.

I know I’m not a perfect man. I’ll fix mistakes in any place I can but if I could choose to turn the hands of the clock and go back to the start of it, I wouldn’t change shit.

I’m just a sorry man. I know I’m not a perfect man. I know I’m not a perfect friend. I know I’m not a perfect son. I’m just a sorry man. Dear ma, was I an honest kid? Did I ever thank you enough for all the things that you did? I know I haven’t been a perfect son but if I ever seem to disappoint you I’m sorry. I’m just a sorry man.

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.
