Broken Wings Lyrics

Somebody broke your wings
Little bird, you can't fly
Somebody hurt you bad
Beaten down, and left to cry
And the price you have to pay
You'll be paying in years of your life

Somebody is to blame
Can't you see, I'm feeling sad
Somebody got away
And it makes me feel sad
And the price you have to pay
You'll be paying in years of your life

Somebody gotta help you
I believe, I love you so
Somebody's gonna touch you
I don't believe I'll let you go
And the love I have to give
I'll be giving in years of my life

And the love I have to give
I'll be giving in years of my life

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.

Wow! The guy who thinks hurt me, hurt his wife in this way and should be paying attention to what he did to her! He will never be free until he turns around and opens his eyes. And that’s the truth! The End!
