python - <textarea> says it supports carriage return new line but it doesn't seem to - google app engine -

first off, here's screenshots illustrate issue.

i'm writing crowd-sourced lyric database web app on google app engine. have 2 text input boxes , text area lyrics. however, when grab data form add database entry, seems strip new lines. either that, or displaying them not working properly. here's code:

class addsong(webapp2.requesthandler): def post(self):     song = song()     song.title = self.request.get('title')     song.artist = self.request.get('artist')     song.data = self.request.get('data')     song.put()     self.redirect('/') 

thanks taking time read this.
