On My Own Lyrics

Well I can see you looking
Over my direction
Thought it was a good thing
I guess I was wrong
You don't wanna hurt me
You don't wanna bring me down
You just wanna scold me
Just because someone else said

I don't need you putting me down
I don't need you cursing my soul
I don't need you pretending you want me
I'd be better off here on my own

I can see the pictures
Hanging up along the wall
Nobody to warn me of anything you had in store
You don't want to please
You don't wanna play around
You just wanna scold me
Just because someone else said

I don't need you putting me down
I don't need you cursing my soul
I don't need you pretending you want me
I'd be better off here on my own

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.
