Angry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So scream you
Out from behind the bitter ache
You're hangin' on the memory
You need most

[Verse 2]
You still want love
Love's ugly, smooth and delicate
But not without affection
No, not alone

[Pre-Chorus]
And instead of wishin' that it would get better
Man, you're seein' that you just get angrier

[Chorus]
And it's good that I'm not angry
Well, I need to get over, well, I
I'm not angry
Anymore

[Verse 3]
Cry when you cry
Run when you run
Love when you love
Well, now, represent the ashes
That you leave behind
[Pre-Chorus]
So instead of wishin' that the road had shoulder
Man, you're seein' that you're sinkin' over time
And you're blind

[Chorus]
And it's good that I'm not angry
Well, I need to get over, well, I
I'm not angry
Oh, well, it's draggin' me under
Well, I, I'm not angry
Angry, yeah

[Bridge]
I'm not angry and it's never been enough
It gets inside and it tears you up
Yeah, I'm not angry and I've never been above it
You see through me, don't you?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And it's good that I'm not angry
Well, I need to get over and I
I'm not angry
Oh, well, it's draggin' me under, well, I
I'm not angry
Well, it's good I'm not angry
Oh, anymore

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
