How Could You? Lyrics

Lavender drops of tears from your eyes. I’ve experienced the same but in doubled amounts. And every street-sign reminds me of the one at the corner of your road, blanketed with dead grass. We passed it many times when our hands were soldered together by what we used to share. Now it’s just a blast furnace for feelings, ones that would gladly hang you neck-tight from it, I needed you. And I used to love you, but all of those sweetest memories are being slaughtered to ashes. They will be kept in a vase which’s centerline is marked with an arrow through a broken heart. It can be our vase but lets keep it a secret, because I’m sick of wishing on stereos and sunsets.

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.
