Downhill Lullaby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You leave me open when you hit me
No one can hear me, then you hurt me
To say that you're not going down there, too
I can see that you want me going downhill, too

[Chorus]
Going downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby

[Verse 2]
You ripped me open, then you kissed me
Blue lips and roses that you left me
The gag and the bind, the perfecting of the ruse
Yeah, I walked with the fire
All the lifeblood and desire
Slowly stifled by somber fumes
I adore the bludgeoned affection
Come and teach me a lesson
All the things I offer you

[Chorus]
Going downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby

[Outro]
You leave me open when you hit me
No one can heal me
No one can heal me
No one can heal me
When you hurt me
You can say what you want
You can claim that you're not
You can say what you want
You can say what you want
Going downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Going downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby

You leave me open when you hit me

Going downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby
Downhill into a lullaby

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.
