Finest Hour Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking in with good intentions
Walking out with no patience
I feel my buttons being pressed on
I feel my body tryna start some
I know I'm young but I'm pissed off
Telling everyone to kick rocks
A couple rounds of the mezcal

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm falling down and I'm holding it all by a thread now
No I ain't perfect, never said I was perfect
And I'm putting it all on a prayer now
No I ain't perfect, never said I was perfect

[Chorus]
This ain't my finest hour
Might see my flaws today
My words are out of order
Maybe my drink's to blame
Emptying all my pockets
'Til I don't feel a thing
This ain't my finest hour
This ain't my finest hour

[Post-Chorus]
This ain't my f--

[Verse 2]
Bottling my emotions
All this talk and commotion
Everybody got me stressed out
I can't control if I break down
Every night is a big blur
I can't get a hold of my temper
Ain't no one to depend on

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm falling down and I'm holding it all by a thread now
No I ain't perfect, never said I was perfect
And I'm putting it all on a prayer now
No I ain't perfect, never said I was perfect

[Post-Chorus]
This ain't my f--

[Bridge]
I can't hide my flaws (I)
And it's all my fault (no I ain't perfect)
I am on my knees (never said I was perfect)
Don't give up on me
I can't hide my flaws
And it's all my fault ('cause I deserved it)
I am on my knees
Don't give up on me

This ain't my finest hour

[Pre-Chorus]

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.

Can you say angsty teen ballad? This song just screams teenager-who's-angry-at-the-world-and-feels-perpetually-misunderstood. We open to a dramatic storm out by a woman repeating that she "never said [she] was perfect." She finally feels pushed to her limit and decides to start to drinking to solve whatever she is feeling inside, a bad habit that many teenagers pick up, unfortunately. She starts "bottling her emotions" by literally drinking her problems away out of a bottle, insisting that she will continue to drink until her pockets are empty. Continuing in this very dramatic fashion, she continues to repeat that this isn't her finest hour and she's on her knees begging the listener not to give up on her. While her pleas may be over the top, any listener would empathize with the singer, after all, we're only human, and everyone has been in her shoes before.
