Melody Lee Lyrics

Melody Lee, a broken mind and a broken dream
A burst of speed, a change of heart
Your life was cruel they called it art

Melody Lee, you need a mirror to set you free
You know you can't cheat tomorrow
If you hide it'll end in sorrow

Melody Lee, you gotta find your secret enemy
You're on the run with nowhere to go
If you die there's no-one to know

Forget your heart, you need not stay
A second longer than today

Melody Lee, a broken mind and a broken dream
A burst of speed, a change of heart
Your life was cruel they called it art

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 [?]
