I Don't Know Lyrics

I fell down
Got back up when no one was around
I want you
I want you to tell me what you found
I been down
Lower than you think I've been
I don't know
I don't know if I know what I mean.

But I know
Who you are
And I know
Where you've been
Yeah I know
But I don't know...I don't know...
I don't know if I want you.

I looked up I saw you looking down on me
I've been here
It isn't where I want to be.
You know exactly what you want to do
I don't know
What you wanted me to be
But I know
(What you know) And I know
(What I like) And I know
(What you want) And I know
(What I want) And I know
But I don't know
I don't know...I don't know
I don't know if I want you...

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.
