Q&A

It's Been Too Long Lyrics

Should I even bother because I never win
There is no other explanation
You say you'll make an appearance
And you promise
But then you never come
So is there a reason
For why you leave some
Form of hope before you're gone

So say you need me
Or I am leaving
This offers fading
I swear I'll be gone
You can't possibly
See how much I bleed
But honestly
It's been too long

I get so nervous
When I see you in person
I know I'll screw this up
I swear
That I've been here
Way too many times to count
So tell me what I'm supposed to do
When all I see you
When I close my eyes
Maybe I shouldn't sleep at night
I'm good at that
You need to realize

Realize you need me
Or I am leaving
This offers fading
I swear I'll be gone
You can't possibly
See how much I bleed
But honestly
It's been too long

So say you need me
Or I am leaving
This offers fading
I swear I'll be gone
You can't possibly
See how much I bleed
But honestly
It's been too long

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.
