Half And Half Lyrics

So much happened and I couldn't deny
That I broke your feelings with the way that I lied

So I do understand the reason you became so weak.
Oh baby you're not half the person that you used to be.

Brag your exploits down the telephone
While you scatter her images around our home

And it's strange how where you feel pride I felt only shame.
I guess it's not unusual that I took all the blame.

Did you feel as guilty when you whispered out my name?

They say it takes a while
To really mean goodbye
You say you feel confused
But I'm just feeling used.

A year of misery
Has left its mark on me
I should've left you when
I wanted to but then.

It's never fair
It's never fair
It's never fair
It's never fair

I wish I could remove
The things I put you through
There's nothing I could change
If we began again.

But you don't have to take
Any more
Any more
Any more
Any more

I guess I'm only half the person that you thought I'd be
I'm thinking of the time when you first said that you loved me
I'm feeling like I'm half the person that I ought to be.

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.

Cover art for Half And Half lyrics by Lush

This is a very deeply emotional song over a breakup. I get the feeling that the singer wasn't completely interested in her lover in the first place, and that her lover was obsessed with someone else. She lied to herself from the outset, thinking she could change her lover. She blames him for not changing, but also herself for thinking she could change him in the first place.
