This is for You Lyrics

do you remember that cold california night, you held my hand and swore you'd never let go..
i guess while i was counting stars, you were hoping for a rainbow, to come and change things in your mind..

and i know..
this time..

this is for you, the one that made me laugh and then you made me cry.
this is for you, the one who faded out and never said goodbye.
this is for you..

so close your eyes tonight, and sleep in your bed alone..
i've been holding this inside for longer than you've known..
and it's unfortunate that everything i never said could have even got thru your head, for once..

this is for you, the one that made me laugh, and then you made me cry..
this is for you, the one that faded out and never said goodbye...
this is for you, the one that keeps me strong when i try to be weak..
this is for me, and everything i don't say, because i always thought you'd see this is for you..

i don't know you, i don't.. i can't hear you, i won't.. i don't know you, i don't..

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.

this is such a cute song. i love it.

i think its about a relationship that just ended, and hes kind of mad about it. He doesn't understand why the other person wants it to end, and he still loves her.
