Read My Lips Lyrics

You had a falling out with yourself that night,
but don't you dare complain.
I've seen this before. It's nothing new to me.
Just makes me strong you see.
You live your life just for others.
They change their act then you change yours too.
Things they change, I've lost track. What am I to do?
I will stay true to myself. I will stay true to myself.
You live your life just for others.
They change their act then you change yours too.
Things they change, I've lost track. What am I to do?
I will stay true to myself. I will stay true to myself.
You- you did it for others.
Me- I do it for myself.
You- you did it for others.
Me- I do it for myself.
I will stay true to myself. I will stay true to myself.

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.
