Desperately Leaving Lyrics

and today i just don't kow what to say | your smile and eyes may match today | but for how long will they share the same | love for me and love for me and love for me | desperate to find fault, they peer from behind | cowardly faces that spell distraction | and then they conspire and say: "hey, i heard you're getting a divorce." | this city is polluted and this city is destruction | waiting to happen and we're here for now | but this place is arid and this place is acrid | and my mind is wanting out so desperately | and they say things like: "he's moving away now lets just say he got a tumor and died. yeah, lets just lie today. we're all the same and we'll have a story by tomorrow morning for the nine o' clock news, nine o' clock news." | backing away with hands | shunning change | fearful hands in desperation | guarding my face | stand here, beside me | love me forever

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.
