Guiding Light Lyrics

I'm fine from within
Just better without
This noose around my neck
Is counting me out

Whenever I run
My beautiful sin
Is calling outside
And it's that that reminds me of you

Now our every last effort tried
So far has been denied
It's easy to cry for love
Far harder to try
There goes my guiding light
Farewell my guiding light
There goes my guiding light

I fought my way in
But I can't find a way out
Of this weightless regret
Surrounding me now

And whenever I run
Some beautiful sin
Is calling outside
And it's that that reminds me of you

Now our every last effort tried
So far has been denied
It's easy to cry for love
Far harder to try
There goes my guiding light
Farewell my guiding light
There goes my guiding light
Farewell my guiding light
There goes my guiding light
There goes my guiding light
There goes my guiding light

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 think this song is about letting go of someone you love,'my guiding light' but you know are better off without.. 'just better without this noose around my neck'. My favourite line is 'it's easy to cry for love, far harder to try'... (so true). Finn Andrews has the most amazing voice!
