One Perfect Lie Lyrics

One
One perfect lie
Was it told
Too soon
And one
One perfect life
Turned to stone
Cold mercy

I
Kneel
Down
By your grave
I
Kneel
Down
Torn and guilty

Did I
Let you down
Say goodbye
Too soon
And did you understand
My mistake
Forgive me

I
Kneel
Down
By your side
I
Kneel
Down
Scared and helpless

One perfect lie
Wrapped in kindness and tears
I wish I believed in your heaven
One perfect life
Led by blind faith and trust
If God has a heart he will find you

Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty
Torn and guilty

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.

I really love Pure album, Gary Numan opened a new sound, under his electronic base, and his lyrics were about internal religious fights, one perfect album, it's not a lie this album!
