Long Before Now Lyrics

it seems so strange that i still hold you dear...
it was never meant to be this way and i'm wrong...
i was forced to watch you walk away...
saw things in a different light for a change...

and if i wanted it so, and if i wanted it so bad...
i would've spoke my mind long before now...

i think back to all the times we've shared...
walked through darker times than this by your side...
it's just the simple things that i fear...fearing a desolate existance all alone...

i hope that things will never changebut things don't always stay the same...
never will, never will again...
we were walking hand in hand looking for a dream that never ends...
never will, never will again...
you were wishing for the best but I never meant to feel this way...
never will, never will again...
i never meant to feel this way...

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.
