Ordinary Lyrics

I saw a vision of you,
(Today)
And I wont do anything to make you feel betrayed,

Cant find the time to look inside,
And realize that I cant hide,
I cant be me unless your there,
this situations so unfair,
I look at you and tell myself,
that your with me and no one else,
you need some help,
if not for you then for myself,

It hard,
(So hard)
To be,
(To be)
Honest with myself,
I need,
(Just need)
Some time,
(Some time)
So I can figure out,
So I wont be ordinary,
Ordinary,

I saw the mystery of you,
(today)
and I dont,
treat everyone and everything that way,

Cant find the time to look inside
And realize that I cant hide,
I cant be me unless your there,
this situations so unfair,
I look at you and tell myself,
that your with me and no one else,
you need some help,
if not for you then for myself,

It hard,
(So hard)
To be,
(To be)
Honest with myself,
I need some time,
So I can figure out,
So I wont be ordinary,

I cant decide,
If Im alright,
I feel inside I need some help,
But Ill deny the things hide,
If not for you then for myself,
If not for you then for myself,
If not for you,

And I know theres better ways to be,
I know its not easy and its hard,
(So hard)
To be,
(To be)
honest with myself,
I need,
(Just need)
Some time,
(Some time)
So I can figure out,
So I wont be,
Ordinary,
So I wont be,
Ordinary,
So I wont be,
Ordinary.

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's about you wanting to be the only one in someones life when that someone has so many people that he/she considers more important than you are. You don't want to be just ordinary to this person. You try to convince yourself that you're the only one, but you're not.

I disagree.... I think this song is about trying to figure out who you are. When you're around a certain person, you act a certain way and you put on a mask. When you're away from that person, you're just ordinary, nothing exciting about you. So, you try to take some time away and find out who you really are, so you can brak out of the ordinary persona and be what you really are instead of what someone else wants you to be.
