Empty Lyrics

This lonely road is bordered with the silhouettes
Of the faces that guided me to this depression
The shadow creeps up my legs and consumes my body
Intimidated by your temptations
Drawn weak by your hate
So to rid myself of this ache
I rip my heart out and squeeze it empty
Love isn’t something that comes easy
It takes trust
Time and forgiveness, all I am willing to give
Love is worth the greatest sacrifice
Your heart given to another
That is why it is the heart beat of life
So I carve regret on my head
Let my blood run dry
Then my tears seem to be attempting to wash me clean
But it only smears the blood
I was afraid, so I sacrificed everything
When it should have all been given to another
And that is why I no longer have any reason to celebrate
My heart…it should have been in the hands of another

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.
