Monument Lyrics

I built a monument to every word that's passed between us
And I built a monument to stand through history
And I watch the hourglass, the time will pass and you'll rue the day love
You ever strayed so far from me

And I built a monument to make the time more easy-passing
And I built a monument to stand up straight and free
When all's been said and done the time will come and it might be soon love
You'll see it more romantically

I built a monument to all we were
I built a monument to me and her

But now she's coming back, the roof is cracked, the walls are falling
And all those bitter words will float back to the scene
And I watch the hourglass, the time will pass and you'll rue the day love
You ever strayed so far from me

I built a monument to all we were
I built a monument to me and her
And only we can knock it down now

I built a monument to all we were
I built a monument to me and her
To you

I built a monument to all we were

Oohh

I built a monument to all we were

Ooohh

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.

The lead singer bought a headstone for his girlfriend as an anniversary gift, as monument to all that they were. She then in turn dumped him thinking it was a threat to her life

i think this song could be about the singer writing this song which is dedicated to his relationship with his ex. and this song will last through time and never go away.
