8 Lyrics

She cried so loud today
Her neighbors all complain
"Someone please send this girl away"
We've said goodbye before a million times or more
This time she shut the door

I won't see her again
It hasn't sunken in
It just brings me down to know
That she could be so happy on her own

I hear she's doing fine
See her out once or twice
Reached out my arms to catch her eye
Sometimes I try to find some kind of reason why
I got to learn how to fly

I won't see her again
It hasn't sunken in
It just brings me down to know
That she could be so happy on her own

"Be good" were her last words
And I'm sure that I heard
Her shoes walk away on the curb
She cried so loud tonight
And all the reason why
I got the chance to say goodbye

I won't see her again
It hasn't sunken in
It just brings me down to know
That she could be so happy on her own
It just brings me down to know
That she could be so happy on her own
Just brings me down to know
That she could be so happy on her own

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.

I think this song speaks for itself. I think at one point or another we've all been here.
