What Did I Do Lyrics

Such a beautiful beginning
I can't believe it was a lie
Now the world is cold because I'm sick inside
You've been gone for too long
I don't think I can stay strong
What did I do to make you be so cruel to me?
What did I do to make you wanna leave me lonely?
You used to say to me, "Hey baby"
Now you won't return my calls
I gave too much
Now I have nothing left at all
I'm reaching out in vain
There's no answer
Just this horrible pain
What did I do to make you be so cruel to me?
What did I do to make you wanna leave me lonely?
I found your voice on a tape
The only letter that I saved
And a polaroid of you
And a drawing that you made
You left it in my car
I never knew I had it
What did I do to make you be so cruel to me?
What did I do to make you wanna leave me lonely?
What did I do?
Just tell me something, anything, because I don't understand

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.
