To: My Old Self Lyrics

I spend my nights thinking the worst
and telling myself that everything's going to work out
I keep kicking myself in the mouth
Opening up every cut that should be a scar by now

I need the hope I always tell my friends about
I need the hope I always tell my friends about

I sleep with the TV on
It covers up my feelings about the past
Here I am lying awake,
Thinking about how things used to be

I'm sick and tired
I'm sick and tired,
Of being at the same old place in my head
Give me peace of mind

I always back track to my old self
When I'm holding on
To despair and cracks in my life
I'm holding on when I need to let go

I sleep with the TV on
It covers up my feelings about the past
Here I am lying awake,
Thinking about how things used to be

Doubt is the soil that fear grows in
I'm dirty from head to toe

Doubt is the soil that fear grows in
I'm dirty from head to toe

Doubt is the soil that fear grows in
I'm dirty from head to toe
I'm dirty from head to toe
I'm dirty from head to toe
I'm dirty from head to toe

I've Never Been Home

I spend my nights thinking the worst
and telling myself that everything's going to work out
I keep kicking myself in the mouth
Opening up every cut that should be a scar by now

I need the hope I always tell my friends about
I need the hope I always tell my friends about

I sleep with the TV on
It covers up my feelings about the past
Here I am lying awake,
Thinking about how things used to be

I'm sick and tired
I'm sick and tired,
Of being at the same old place in my head
Give me peace of mind

I always back track to my old self
When I'm holding on
To despair and cracks in my life
I'm holding on when I need to let go

I sleep with the TV on
It covers up my feelings about the past
Here I am lying awake,
Thinking about how things used to be

Doubt is the soil that fear grows in
I'm dirty from head to toe

Doubt is the soil that fear grows in
I'm dirty from head to toe

Doubt is the soil that fear grows in
I'm dirty from head to toe
I'm dirty from head to toe
I'm dirty from head to toe
I'm dirty from head to toe

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.
