Hey, Don't Stop Lyrics

it's never easy to see the sun
when you're locked up in this
pretty plaster cage
so she says
she'd love to feel alive again
but this loneliness necessitates her void

and i tell her don't stop
trying to be the one
cuz one day it won't matter
who you are
she's had enough of being down
and it seems that everything
that she's heard

it's everything that makes her cry
and it's just about time
to get this right
cuz i don't know
if it's all about taking this drink tonight
and i've been thinking baby
that you're out of your mind

so now it's midnight
and she leans against the wind
she finds it cold and comforting
in this bold and daring glow
yeah, we all know to pass the time
we pass around a few cold stares
and wonder who we are
i think she's better off this way

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.

been a cartel fan forever if you havent been to a cartel concert before it really sucks casue you'll miss out on alot even if u go now like now that their more popular cause their played on the radio,mtv,etc. their concerts are WAY different they dont even warm up or do a sound check to their own insturments..and they have (atleast were i was at) a guy so they couldnt get on stage when usually, people jump on stage, then dive into crowd.. they've changed alot, they played like 4 new songs, they sound alright i guess..but i just miss the not so popular cartel concerts but their pretty much beyond amazing
