How am i gonna know? Lyrics

I keep going over what I said
how your eyes disguise your mouth
the most incredible blood red
but there's nothing coming out
there's just empty stares instead
and i don't know what it's about
thanks to all your silence..

how'm i gonna know if you want talk to me
how'm i gonna show you what you got if you won't look at me
now i know this ain't what it's suppose to be
how'm i gonna know if you want talk to me...

i used to hang on every word that you never said
but it never occured it was only in my head
the only voice i heard was mine saying everything is fine
it was hypnotizing...

...
IT'S NOT FAIR TO LEAVE ME HERE WHEN I'M THIS WASTED
IT'S NOT FAIR, NO! NO!, I GUESS YOU WERE NEVER THERE

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.

ah, relationship problems. lack in communication, a biggie. it's about denying that there's a problem, and then when you admit it, and you're trying to work it out, the other person doesn't want to tell you what they're thinking.

I really like this songvery much. I think Stroke 9's song are getting better. I once e-mail the lyrics to all my MSN contacts and most of them said that the lyrics are meaningful and sweet. I like the chorus cause it's like what I'm going thru right now.
