As Far As Goodbyes Go Lyrics

stale air and stiff white sheets. open blinds and weak light. my head is in my hands, i've got these memories of brighter days. i'll pull the shades. that smile is still in my head. that laugh, it still echoes. now there you are, lying so still. so cold to the touch. i'm reaching out to close your eyes. i'm kneeling in to say goodbyes. that smile is still in my head. that laugh, it still echoes. don't leave yet, you can't leave yet. there is still so much for her to say. she's not moving, she's not breathing. i'm afraid this time she's not going to wake up. they say i've got your eyes. she was so cold. i've got those eyes i had to close.

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.
