Cross You Out Lyrics

[Verse 1: Charli XCX]
Built a world all in my mind
All on my own, will I survive? Oh

[Pre-Chorus: Charli XCX]
Century of tears
Sadness was my only smile, yeah
So I fall apart
But you're gone and I'm doing fine
I'm screaming out

[Verse 2: Sky Ferreira]
Melt me down one piece at a time
I seal these eyes wide shut
I wasn't mesmerized, no

[Pre-Chorus: Sky Ferreira]
Century of tears
Sadness was another denial, yeah
Thought I'd fall apart
But now you're gone, I'm doing fine
I'm screaming out

[Bridge: Sky Ferreira, Charli XCX, Both]
I've become someone better
I've become someone better
Yeah, yeah
Now I look in the mirror
And I love myself better
Yeah, yeah
I've become someone better
I've become someone better
Yeah, yeah
Now I look in the mirror
Feels so good to forget ya
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Charli XCX]
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out
Ooh, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
When you're not around, when you're not around, ooh
When you're not around, when you're not around
I'll finally cross you out

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.
