The Ghosts Of Pittsburgh Lyrics

if my memory serves when we let things like love slide, we got what we, what we deserve. this weathered statue speaks to me. when we turned to stone im haunted by the ghosts of pittsburgh. if my memory learns then we'll repave roads we left overturned. cause what tarnishes silver is sure to break bone. when we felt frayed by those words im haunted by the ghosts of pittsburgh. to say i never learn would be a lie, even to this day i wont say good bye . despite what we learned there are ghosts left unburried in pittsburgh.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

my God, this song is so Pittsburgh, if you've ever been there. the city is kind of haunting and beautiful, and they've done such a great job as using the city as a backdrop for lost love. I LOVE THESE GUYS!!
