On My Side Lyrics

Expectations that I built up
Now finally come to light
So naive because I never thought
So many could lose sight
I reached out to grab a hold
But you passed me by
Was it worth a try?
I just tried to laugh it off
Bt it's not that cheap to me
I just wished you'd see
I know the past
Is set in stone
So I live fo what's ahead
My intentions never missed a beat
On the path I lead
Not concerned with others faults I can't fix
It's hard enough to keep yourself in check
I put my hopes in the ones I trust
There's too many on my side to just let go

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.
