License To Confuse Lyrics

I'm not attractive today
I'm not a sight for sore eyes
I'm not an Adam or Eve
I'm just a nervous young thing
Hear my voice strain as I sing
My will won't bend and then break
The crate will break and I'll fall
I couldn't help it at all
I’ve got a license to confuse
What do we got to lose?
A license to confuse
I guess I got what it takes to help me make this mistake
It took a while but I learned
It took a twist but I turned
And now its clear that I'm blind
Another mountain to climb
Another distance to fall
I couldn't help it all
I've got a license to confuse
What have you got to lose?
A license to confuse
I shouldn't sound so forlorn
Regret the day I was born
'Cuz here I am and I've been
I only need a few friends
My hands are sweating all day like I've been letting me down
Like I've been letting me slide
Just some nonsense on my mind
And the license to confuse
Nothing I can use
Bust it, build it for a year
Here's my license that's my right

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.
