Wear Me Down Lyrics

Every time I come here
I'm not sure what to say
I know it should be easy
But it never seems that way

You, you make me feel
Like no one ever will
So why, why do you bore me
Until my heart is still?

[Chorus]
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight

I can't say I love you easily
But you wouldn't want me to
So I'd rather just say nothing
And leave it up to you

Then it's easy to forget
You're just as small as me
Then it's easy to forget
You're just as foolish as me

You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight... you

You, you make me feel
Like no one ever will
So why, why do you bore me
Until my heart is still?

You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight
You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight... you

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.

This song sounds nothing like Radiohead. It's actualyl a standout track on the album; it's the most distorted and "hard" of all the songs on the record... distorted guitars, crashing drums, off-tempo harmonies and disaffected vocals make for a great "I don't care anymore" love/breakup song.

Pretty straightforward: he's sick of his girlfriend.
