The Sad One Lyrics

Why should I choose to fade away
When I can ride alone for another day?
This isn't what I had planned
Too late to prosper, too far away
Nothing to offer, I raised the stakes
Yes, I've made mistakes
But this is getting out of hand
Enough's enough, you think you've had it rough
Take a step outside your front door to wake you up
Maybe then you will understand
Facts are facts, you never had it bad
I couldn't count the things I know you didn't think you had
It's really sad

Place your burdens unto me
From the anchors, I am free

Don't do this to yourself
Don't change for no one else
And know when it is time to
Start again

Be honest with yourself
Another cry for help
I know that it is time to
Start again

I can't find my way out
I'm crippled by doubt
I think it's time to start again
I felt so alone
In a world with no home
I need to find a way to start again

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.
