If Only Duct Tape Can Fix Everything Lyrics

all blurry, no focus now
whats focus when the lights are all out
i cant understand, why i keep you around
but i cant, i wont let you down
wondering, how long until we break
foundations that we built are getting weak
it seems that, we're springing a leak
but i cant, i wont let us drown
no i cant, i wont let you down
i cant, and i wont let you down
cause you know, that ill do anything for you
and you see, that its aching inside me
and i watch you go, and i dont run after you
and i guess i just let you down
when its not me, whos forgetting all our dreams
when its not me, whos forgetting all our dreams
when its not me, whos forgetting all our
whos forgetting all our dreams
forgetting all our dreams
and i watch you go, and i dont run after you
and i guess i just let you down

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.
