Song Lyrics

You can't make a song into a person that's worth living as
You can't even make a song into a place to live
You can't make a song into self-assurance or self-love
A song usually pretty much does the opposite

You can't make a song into a good enough reason to be loved
You can't make a song into a lover or a friend to spend time with
You can't make a song into an apology for another song you wrote
I'm super scared I'll never move out of my parents' home

But, but
It's human blood
It's my human blood
It's the stupid shit I waste my time on

But it's human blood
It's my human blood
It's the stupid shit I waste my life on

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 [?]
