Rosebud Lyrics

Is it all make believe?
Is it all make believe?
Don’t abuse the trust i place in you
If i should bend and brake
Force me to walk and wait
No one will wait for you
Cause you never ask them to
If the moment you got caught
You'd stop and see its enough
Even you are not complete
Ba bo bum ba
Ba bo bum
Ba bum

Is it all make believe
Tell me now make believe
I'm attentive playing you other pegs
If i should stop to breathe
Just to get over it
I wouldnt wait for you
Cause you never ask me to
If a moment you got caught
Deny and reveal your lies
Even you are not complete

For a moment just retreat
Tonight you lie down defeat
Even you are not complete

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 really like this song. It seems as if he's either taunting or giving a reality check to someone.

A reference to Citizen Kane I think? Esp. "Even you are not complete...." Why else would it be called Rosebud? Thoughts?
