In the Trophy Lies the Gun Lyrics

I need the strength of a broken heart
That found hope
To get past this burden
You were my angel
But you’re no angel
You taught me love
And ripped it back form me
Shredded wings strainingly flutter towards the sun
Always moving towards the trophy
But in the trophy lies the gun
Dying just to feel your love
Living just to feel your lies

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.

a surviving broken heart must be strong considering people die of a broken heart.the burden is a plaque of having feelings for a girl(boy if your a girl) that comes off as wonderful and is really not. about soemone teaching you soemthing and pretending to share it with youthen announce that everything wasnt true. someone can always be trying to get with a certain person and doing so much for them to find out their going to hurt you. dying just to feel your love. her love kills him so he must die to feel it. living just to feel your lies. her lies are his motivation to stay alive.
