When Time Stood Still Lyrics

Time stands still in this moment of dissonance and despair. No one will ever see my hidden pain trapped within. You are now forever gone. Given over to death. I'm left here crying. The mask I wear, it is fitting. This fake smile, it gets old. Living a lie now a burden. As the winter is cold. You are now forever gone. Given over to death. I'm left here crying. I'm left crying. Falling down on my knees, I'm left here crying. Falling down on my knees, I'm left here crying. I look for the day when we'll meet again. You'll wrap your arms around me. You'll wrap your arms around me.

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.
