Crooked Smile Lyrics

You've had your thumb on me too long. I'm so confused on right from wrong. You cripple every thought of mine. The damage leaves me in denial. Slowly finding the light that you've stolen. Finally looking to purge all the poison. Leaving while I can stand. When you watch me dig out from under your skin. Don't wait up, don't waste your time, you know I'm never coming home. Feed me lies, a crooked smile is all I feel I've ever known. Simple minded soul of mine, waited too long to leave you behind. Always felt you in my way, a weightless chain beneath my feet. Slowly finding the light that you've stolen. Finally looking to purge all the poison. Leaving while I can stand. When you watch me dig out from under your skin. Don't wait up, don't waste your time, you know I'm never coming home. Feed me lies, a crooked smile is all I feel I've ever known. You lost yourself so long ago. Waited too long for darkness to take hold. You hate yourself, I hate you more. All the anger, I can't seem to let it go. Won't let you feed me lies. Won't let you feed me lies. So watch me dig, so watch me dig away from this. Don't wait up, don't waste your time, you know I'm never coming home. Feed me lies, a crooked smile is all I feel I've ever known. Won't let you feed me lies. Won't let you feed me lies.

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.
