Align LaTeX correctly

I am working on a songbook in LaTeX. with some of the songs, parts of the text ends up aligned on the right side instead of the left. Typically the part that gets misplaced is the informational lines just below the title:

Code:

\subsection{<title>}
\vspace{-1.5ex}
\textit{\small{Tekst: <writer>}}\\
\vspace{-.9ex}
\textit{\small{Mel.: <tune>}}\\
\vspace{-.9ex}
\textit{\small{<other info>}}\\

flushleft around the misplaced lines fixes those lines, but then the rest of the song becomes misplaced.

I know this is not really a linux issue, but I could not see where it would fit better.

I haven't done anything with LaTex, so I'm grasping at straws here.

If you can *flushleft* around the lines after the title to fix their alignment, can you not *flushleft* around the rest of the song as well?

tried that, seems flushleft is designed for a small amount of text, I get errors if I try it on a long text.
