More Than Life Lyrics

awake and uneasy. scared 'cause i'm begging you already in my dreams. was it a question you were begging that i couldn't answer when i left? i'm whole in light of you - there's more than life to lose. "hurt stays . . ." i'm sure you know the rest. we'll see how far we get on courage and regret. i loved you more than life, it almost killed us both. and it's funny 'cause i think i need you more than you need me. i have eaten enough of my own sentiment, it would kill me to choke down the rest. why would it hurt you so bad to forgive, would it hurt you so bad to forget? you hold your breath as you hold me to your chest and i hold back my regret - if this is all that i get of you.

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 is by far my favorite song by this band. It's plain and simple a song about being broken up and missing that person so much...as least to me. Who hasn't felt "awake and uneasy" during one of those?
