Friendly Advice Lyrics

i hear about you and all the things, the
things that you do, and the hurt that it
brings. I don't understand your
reasoning and i don't know why.

You think that you can do things your
way. A fool can only satisfy himself.
My life's not perfect as you can see.
It's just that i possess a broken heart.

Youclaim to believe in forgiving love.
Forgiveness is yours if you'd look up
above. I can't understand you're
reasoning and i don't know why

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.

I'm about to compare it to Double Standard This comes early in the album, which gives it a clear advantage. Double Standard has a 90's grunge beginning, which gives it a few points. In Friendly Advice, the chorus is very catchy In Double Standard, it's hard to tell the chorus apart. Double Standard is a bit faster, and a bit more hardcore Double Standard is a bit darker Friendly Advice has better lyrics Friendly Advice is a bit more... solid.
