This Is My Work Lyrics

I found out there's a lot more going on underneath the hood than I thought
Broken pieces, I'm breaking down
Oh my God, every other hour

The way you dance around, singing off-key
Decorating our new apartment
Is the only thing holding my strings
As I'm floating over the entire scene
Don't let me go...

I want to be here for you
I want to be exactly what you want me to
Baby, if we're the total sum of the promises kept, the vows broken,
Baby doll, just please keep holding on

You can teach me to learn how to trust
There's a ground underneath my feet when I walk
That the path will keep opening up
It's not like I have to lay every brick myself

Because I've been working way too hard
Look, the moon and starts stayed up all on their own
Please teach me how to trust
So I don't float off into the distance
It's scary in the distance
Don't let me go

I want to be here for you
I want to be exactly what you want me to
Baby, if we're the total sum of the promises kept, the vows broken,
Baby doll, just please keep holding on
Baby doll, just please keep holding on

I found out there's a lot more going on underneath the hood than I thought
Broken pieces, I'm breaking down
Oh my God, every other hour

The way you dance around, singing off-key
Decorating our new apartment
Is the only thing holding my strings
As I'm floating over the entire scene
Don't let me go...

I want to be here for you
I want to be exactly what you want me to
Baby, if we're the total sum of the promises kept, the vows broken,
Baby doll, just please keep holding on

You can teach me to learn how to trust
There's a ground underneath my feet when I walk
That the path will keep opening up
It's not like I have to lay every brick myself

Because I've been working way too hard
Look, the moon and starts stayed up all on their own
Please teach me how to trust 
So I don't float off into the distance
It's scary in the distance
Don't let me go

I want to be here for you
I want to be exactly what you want me to
Baby, if we're the total sum of the promises kept, the vows broken,
Baby doll, just please keep holding on
Baby doll, just please keep holding on

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.
