I Counted on Love Lyrics

I'm hangin' on - cause I hate letting go (I hate letting go)
I'm not that strong - but you already know; how I hate letting go
We believed that dreams came true, now that picture's torn in two

I counted on love but love will never cry for me
I counted on love but love will never lie for me
I counted on love but lover say goodbye for me
I counted on love

Some great defender - is that what you need? To heal not to bleed
Some great pretender - shouting
"Set yourself free - Set yourself free"
Why do memories have to be like a lock without a key

I counted on love but love will never cry for me
I counted on love but love will never lie for me
I counted on love but lover say goodbye for me

I was flying oh so high
Now I'm trying not to cry
I was trying - but I'm dying, 'caus I hate letting go

I counted on love but love will never cry for me
I counted on love but love will never lie for me
I counted on love but lover say goodbye for me

I counted on love I counted on you

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.
