The Soap Opera Lyrics

Do you remember when, we were kids and nothing was wrong?
A world where our backs were safe, from which I've been away too long.
Then we realize, and we won't surely soon forget,
Security blankets are small, and they're getting torn and wet.
Will somebody possibly offer a way out?
Will somebody possibly offer a way out?
I don't have the time in my life to believe,
That it all will be ok.
It surprises me that we have made it even this far,
Then shines a glimmer of hope, I know who my real friends are!
Will somebody possibly offer a way out?
Will somebody possibly offer a way out?
I don't have the time in my life to believe,
That it all will be ok.
Nobody's clean

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 song is so amazing. "I don't have the time in my life to believe that it all will be ok" is so powerful.
