Down The Drain Lyrics

i watched you fall, into his arms
your eyes speak volumes, truths unheard to me

remember that first time when my eyes finally met yours
it seemed like time had stopped
never wanted for it to end,
now as i look into your eyes,
seems just a waste of time,

where did it all go, down the drain
and hows it goin to be, everyday,
i dont want us to end like this,
i'll try again until i get it right

everything was fine,
until you begin to cry,
and you told me about this guy
stop pretending what you said,
was just a lie, and you were telling stories again

where did it all go, down the drain
and hows it goin to be, everyday,
i dont want us to end like this,
i'll try again until i get it right

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 great, and I feel like I comepletely relate to it. Especially this part: "remember that first time when my eyes finally met yours, it seemed like time had stopped, never wanted for it to end, now as i look into your eyes, seems just a waste of time, where did it all go, down the drain, and hows it goin to be, everyday, i dont want us to end like this, i'll try again until i get it right". Actually, this is exactly how I've been feeling for the past few days... relationships that have basically just gone to shit, but for some reason you still want to work things out with the other person because you love them so much. sigh...
