What We Had We Wasted Lyrics

Do you remember the good ol' days?
When we saw nought we wanted to see
We became disillusioned, lost sight of ourselves
We tried to form new friends
Out of dirt and rust and shit
And all we had was an empire of sticks

We had the greatest time
Rubbing shoulders with the grime
We had the perfect system
Toeing to the edge
We had the greatest time
Rubbing shoulders with the grime
We had the perfect system
Toeing to the edge

The one thing that could stop us was ourselves
We were the only ones who could trip us down the well

We threw it down the drain in search of what we needed
If only we realised that what we had, we wasted

We had the greatest time
Rubbing shoulders with the grime
We had the perfect system
Toeing to the edge
We had the greatest time
Rubbing shoulders with the grime
But what we had we wasted
What we had we wasted

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.
