Death Lyrics

When my time has come
I won't put up a fight
I'll hold my breath and let it all wash over me
And all the words we said and all the words we said
Have a way of rubbing off
But I said them so your courage could come back
And stay back
Stay back
When I am, I can
They're all waiting for me
These eyes, these hands
Let them wash over me
And run to your room whie you're weeping
I'll see you in your bed while you're sleeping
Well, farewell
I won't hold you down
No, I'll heal the cracks in your head
Stay back

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.

its about leaving someone behind and not wanting them to feel sorry about it or restricted by it.
