Play It By Ear Lyrics

when what Iím building for tomorrow comes crashing down today and what I put my effort into falls apart anyway when the seed I planted dies and my roots have washed away and Iíve got nothing to say when there's nothing left for me and everything is in my way will I be broken like a chain with a weak link will I speak out and let the people who hurt me know what I think? it's kinda hard to be what I wanna be but Iím trying real hard cause I wanna believe and I can't help it if you don't wanna understand so Iíll play it by ear and do the best I can when everything that Iíve been taught has been proven wrong and the debts that Iíve acquired have gone unpaid for way too long when I cause painful division because of my stupid pride when the love I give to someone gets taken for granted and brushed aside...

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.
