My Eyes Were Closed Lyrics

oh do you love me
does if fade like a drying waterstain
or if i beckon will you stay
let me finish watching you change
like a sunset
just because i love doesn't mean
there's innately something inbetween
turns out my eyes were closed
and so i didn't know
turns out my eyes were closed
i'd thought that i was more
i've played the weakling
not afraid to ride your sympathy like a train
but i never caught you completely
just a wing that i couldn't keep
so intent feeling loving you
thought that was all i knew how to do
turns out my eyes were closed
and so i didn't know
turns out my eyes were closed
i'd thought that i was more

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.
