The Rules of Your Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't subscribe to the rules of life
Who penned them, was it man or God?
Oh I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Oh I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

[Chorus]
Forget the rules of your life
And kiss me one last time
Forget the rules of your life
And touch me one last time

[Verse 2]
We both know we died long ago
Choked to death on chicks and lies
We both know what’s at your core
There's nothing really anymore

But I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Oh I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
We built it
Together
Destroyed it
Together
We built it
Together
Will I ever feel joy again?

[Chorus]

And touch me one last time
And touch me one last time

[Outro] [x4]
Will I ever feel joy?
Will I ever feel joy?
Will I ever feel joy?
Will I ever feel joy?
Will I ever feel joy?
Will I ever feel joy?
Will I ever feel joy?
Will I ever feel joy?
(And touch me one last time)

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.
