Bodyache Lyrics

You said
You said
Turn the lights down
I wanna be alone

I ran your head away
I couldn't stand how it pleaded
I needed to take

Take a break
Take me down
Take me down there
I wanna stare at the tears
How they watered your years
Take a break
Take me down
Take me down there
I wanna stare at your tears how they...
I I I lied now I'm lying awake
I I I cried till my bodyache
I I I lied now I'm lying awake
I I I cried till my bodyache

(Bodyache. I I I I I body)

you sweat
and you bled
I couldn't look cause your body
Your body would shake

And you feared
A lowly death
Like a lake leaves you low in her depths

Take a break
Take me down
Take me down there
I wanna stare at the tears
How they watered your years
Take a break
Take me down
Take me down there
I wanna stare at your tears how they...

I I I lied now I'm lying awake
I I I cried till my bodyache
I I I lied now I'm lying awake
I I I cried till my bodyache

(Bodyache. I I I I I body)

I wanna know whats your
I wanna know whats your
Quietest feeling
I saw you break out
I saw you break out
Saw you unreeling

I lied, now I'm lying awake
I cried, until my bodyache
I lied, now I'm lying awake
Now I'm lying awake
Now I'm lying awake

I I I lied now I'm lying awake
I I I cried till my bodyache
I I I lied now I'm lying awake
I I I cried till my body

Now I'm lying awake
Now I'm lying awake

Until my bodyache
Until my bodyache

I I I cried till my body
(Bodyache. I I I I I body)

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.

I think the song is about how the artist is in a relationship and she sees the emotional toll her partner takes being with her. Maybe she has some sort of mental illness that is very taxing on the both of them. Her partner works so hard to make sure she's okay, and keeps their troubles to themselves. She wants to see her partner let go, to show themself to her. She feels guilt over how her partner is also suffering but she can't help. She wants them to open up to her and the song is her admitting guilt and trying to get them to open up.
