Rude Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am here to curse my own tongue again
Words wrong again
Untrue

Though I'm the only who may have noticed it
How bloated it seemed to be

[Verse 2]
Falling from my mouth it wouldn't move
Not helping any point I'm trying to prove
Just lying there, dying in the air

I wish I didn't care
'Cause caring is rude

[Verse 3]
I am here to curse my own name again
Take the blame again
For you

It's easier to think that if I could change
The world could change, but that's not true

[Verse 4]
'Cause you are yours and we don't share a soul
And nothing I could say will gain control
Oh nature I should leave her to herself
It's better for my health –

[Chorus]
If I don't intrude
'Cause caring is rude

[Verse 5]
You are yours and we don't share a goal
And nothing I could say will gain control
Oh nature I should leave her to herself
It's better for my health –

[Chorus]
If I don't intrude
'Cause caring is rude
Nature is cruel

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 [?]
