These Things Lyrics

I have this smile to hide me
And I have this cross to bear
I have your picture that still haunts me like your memory
These things have I

I have these words to lie to me
These stupid songs to share
I have these countless hours to fill the void you left me
These things have I

For all those things I've done
Let you down I apologize
But sorry's hard somehow
Seems so strange it'd be so easy now

But I've got this faith to blind me
And I've got these dreams we shared
And I have the fear that dreams are all I'll have that's
left to me

These things all these things
These things have I
These things all these things
There things have I

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.

Nah, the things are "this smile," "this cross," etc.

They're all he has left, yadda yadda yadda.

But I've got this faith to blind me And I've got these dreams we shared And I have the fear that dreams are all I'll have that's left to me

That line always stuck out to me

Anybody who's ever been in a painful breakup can relate to this song. It's very haunting, very beautiful in its own way.

Seems like he did something he wouldn't apologize for and the girl left him.

For all those things I've done Let you down I apologize But sorry's hard somehow Seems so strange it'd be so easy now

Sorry is hard in the moment, and later it's so easy to say it, but it might be too late by then...
