Empty Lyrics

I cannot pretend to say I’m sorry
and I can’t pretend that I care
(I cannot say that I love you
‘cause you won’t let me)
Let me show you how much I care
(You don’t let me show you my heart)
My heart is yours
(Feels like such a crime to keep me from it)
when I’d go through hell for you
(My heart breaks every time your window falls)
like a guillotine slammed down
My life flees from my body
(‘cause I’m empty without you)

I’m empty
(Wilted away just to thorns)
I’m empty
(Driftwood floating up on shore)

The emptiness unfolds me
(Like a gown ragged and torn)
The emptiness it drowns me
(Swallowed by the breakers of the relentless storm)

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.
