Maybe Laughter Lyrics

maybe ask her
why water fills up her eyes
baby tell her
theres just no reason to cry
we'll find a reason to lie to her

maybe after the water burns up her eyes
we could tell her
theres just no reason to try
without repeating her lines
each time

this somebody makes you laugh girl
is someone who'd make you cry still
in one day you've made your mind up
this someone is right enough- for girl

maybe laughter
will dry the tears that we cry
when we tell her
theres just no pleasing this guy
he'd find a reason to lie to her

this somebody makes you laugh girl
is someone who'd make you cry still
in one day you've made your mind up
this someone is right enough- for girl

somebodys nodding off
she'll know it when shes ready and had enough
someday we write it off
we know it when were ready and had enough

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.

it seems to be about a girl who is in a bad relationship - although the guy makes her laugh, he makes her cry, too, and there is "no pleasing" him. she got into the relationship suddenly - "in one day you've made your mind up that someone is right enough for girl" - and didn't notice or ignored his flaws. her friends are trying to tell her that he isn't a good guy, but she won't listen. then at the end, the friends get sick of trying to tell her what to do when she never listens - "someday we write it off, we know it when we're ready and had enough."

or at least that is what i got...
