If You Say So Lyrics

wonder if i'll ever get ahead, i wouldn't mind, it's only fair
don't know how much longer i can walk around pretending i don't care

just a little bit, to feel at ease again
no more belly ache, no more humbling

if you say so
wonder why i worry so much all the time, if i can make my rent
guess you've never seen what i'd come home to if i had to move back in

just a little lift, to feel on top again
no more phony grin, no more stumbling

if you say so
wonder if i'll ever get ahead, i wouldn't mind, it's only fair
don't know how much longer i can walk around pretending i don't care

if you say so

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.

Pretty damn obvious but: it's teenagers so.. He's sicking of always being 3rd from the bottom, (pgph 1) make it go away(pgph2) sure it may be ok to survive, but he wants MORE, tired of living in a crappy apartment with no carpet or heat and a dirty kitchen(pgph3) pgph4 so he can actually be happy, even if it's for a short time if you say so, because he's not going to do anything about it, just stay the way he is, probably talking to parents.

"guess you've never seen what i'd come home to if i had to move back in"

I guess the situation he would come home to if he would move back in is described in the song "Factory".

He's thinking about doing drugs to not feel or to feel better. "try this ____ it'll make you feel better" - "if you say so...."
