Broken Lyrics

Chorus: (broken live sand broken homes Drunken dads give broken bones We've seen no love for all 'our lives But we will face the blame) You tell me that you love me you tell me that you'd kill for me You never were my dad you couldn't just be there for me Break my mom and break my face Kids shouldn’t cry cause there's no safe place I don’t want to be a man Cause you showed me what a man could do And I hate you (Chorus) Do you care? You don’t care When your pupil's dialate when you're passed put in the middle of the street And we pray that you won't come home And take our lives Away again So have another drink And tell me that its All my fault That you can't help yourself As I watch you run away (Chorus) You showed me what a man could do And I hate you (Chorus)

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.

It mean's sadness, growing up with an abusive parent. He is pouring out all the sadness in his heart.
