You Ruin Me Lyrics

Job well done
Standing ovation
Yeah you got what you wanted
I guess you won
And I don't wanna hear they don't know you like I do
Even I could have told you
But now we're done

'Cause you
Play me like a symphony
Play me 'til your fingers bleed
I'm your greatest masterpiece
You ruin me
Later when the curtain's drawn
And no one's there for you back home
Don't cry to me you played me wrong
You ruin me

I know you thought
That I wouldn't notice
You were acting so strange
I'm not that dumb
And in the end I hope she was worth it
I don't care if you love me
You make me numb

'Cause you
Play me like a symphony
Play me 'til your fingers bleed
I'm your greatest masterpiece
You ruin me
Later when the curtain's drawn
And no one's there for you back home
Don't cry to me you played me wrong
You ruin me

We're that song you wouldn't sing
Just a broken melody
You're killing me

You play me like a symphony
Play me 'til your fingers bleed
I'm your greatest masterpiece
You ruin me
And later when the curtain's drawn
And no one's there for you back home
Don't cry to me you played me wrong
You ruin me

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.
