Knockout Lyrics

I tried blowin off all my dreams
They won't ever come true
But sometimes that is all we have to make do
They can not take it all from me
That is something I know
Cause life's short and we all can't be a hero
I will not apologize for being me
I can not rationalize my true feelings
There is no saving grace
I have no other face
Why can't you understand
Spare me your useless speeches
Save me another day
Hold me told me tight in your arms now
Save me another day
I want to be everything
That my friend want to be
But time tells that all great things are not free
This does not mean that I'll ever quit
Striving for that one day
When I can look in the mirror and I can say

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.
