Day One And Counting Lyrics

A voice says don't bother screaming day one has come and gone away
Served on this diet of needles and knives convincing myself to stay alive
Are these the eyelids you tried to save
I drink to forget your face
We all know what goes on and we know just what you've done
Is it even worth it to say I'm sorry just because
Such simple things I miss in spite of all of this
Is it even worth it to say I'm sorry, just move on
A voice says don't bother leaving
Day one has come and gone away
Choking on hopes and words I never wrote
I'll try to survive on this long night on this warm night the taste gets worse
The lips I thought I touched now just hurt
Come on and catch me I know that you want me it's written all over your obvious arms
The smell of your breath the feel of your neck the scent of assurance spilt over my neck

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.
