I Kiss the Hand of My Destroyer Lyrics

In her eyes
I'm drawn to the reflection of my demise
My grimace on a screen one mile high
My whole world on a plate for you to try
Relationships are compromise

I kiss the hand of my destroyer
With love I watch her watch me cry
How marvelous my house on fire

Come inside
And help yourself to anything that's mine
Kiss me 'til the tears fill up my eyes
Push me down the stairs and watch me climb
Just to see you smile

I kiss the hand of my destroyer
With love I watch her watch me cry
How marvelous my house on fire

I'll pretend I don't mind
I'll play the dying swan tonight
My feathers will fill up the sky
And fall down by your side

You are the sunshine of my life

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.
