Rotten Apples Lyrics

I didn't think we'd make it but we did.
Some of us won't make it, some will.
The rest of us are forced to rot,
I think it's because we're young.
The rest of us are forced to rot,
I think it's because I'm young.
I don't want to sleep alone tonight.
I'm with you and everything's alright.
I know that I'm forced to rot,
I think this because I'm young.
I know that we're forced to rot,
I didn't think we'd make it but we did.

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.

This song is about two people in love, not thinking there love would last, but it DID! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONGS, ROTTON APPLES RULES!!! YAHHHH He thinks its cuz they are young, and the rest of the world is forced to rot he says. He thinks its because he is young. And he doesnt want to sleep alone cuz he wants his girlfriend to kiss. He knowns he is forced to rott and its cuz he feels young. He thinks they are both forced to rott in the relationship but they made it, they got married! (hence the lyric, we made it)
