In Memoriam Lyrics

hold you empty arms out and watch him fall
valentines are bitter sweet this year
and angels are crying so say a prayer
christmas day is missing all it's cheer
christmas is lonely
your bedroom is empty this year
christmas is lonely
a heaviness hangs in the air
a hallway light broken
crashed at the end of the stairs
unopened presents
and laughter that noone will hear
mother is crying, but father is pain
their son, he won't be with them this year
christmas is lonely
your bedroom is empty this year
christmas is lonely
a heaviness hangs in the air
christmas is lonely
your bedroom is empty this year
christmas is lonely
a heaviness hangs in the air
christmas is lonely
your bedroom is empty this year
christmas is lonely
a heaviness hangs in the air

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.
