Don't blame your death on the shit in your head
That you claimed ate you like a virus for days on end
I watched you decay, watched you waste away
Who'd you think you'd fool, baby, diggin' your own grave?
Option values that consist of more than one word need to be quoted:
$ songtext -a 'nina simone' -t sinnerman
Nina Simone: Sinnerman
----------------------
Oh sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Sinnerman, where you gonna run to?
Where you gonna run to?
All along dem day
Punctuation is important too:
$ songtext -a "shawn mendes" -t "theres nothing holdin me back"
Your query did not match any tracks.
$ songtext -a "shawn mendes" -t "there's nothing holdin' me back"
Shawn Mendes: There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back

I wanna follow her where she goes
I think about her and she knows it
I wanna let it take control
'Cause every time that she gets closer
