For My Mom Lyrics

Stealing more lines from movies and drunken times Spent with good friends Writing these songs to remind me of everything that I did wrong This is dedicated to everyone that made me strong Chorus: I don’t want to disappoint my mom I don’ t want to die before I’m done I want something bigger than myself Just to say I tried is not enough Busting my ass on stages everywhere Hoping I’ll relate to some kids that care, as much as me I’m so scared That I might waste my life I never wanted to be famous I just want to be a light For anyone who needs a friend or feels they’re fighting against time (Chorus) You learn what you live You get what you give If all of this was true I wouldn’t be screaming this at 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.

Very touching. Brings tears to your eyes. The singer is trying to reach out to other kids that have grown up with out a good father and say your Mom was there for you.
