Of Love and Loss Lyrics

Burning each box of stamp-less letters of romance
That I could never send
Constantly reaching for something
My hands couldn’t hold
Though it brings me hope
To know that my heart can’t find a new low
I’ve fallen so far down from this warm winter sun
For I’ve been buried inside since that last parting of lips
Beneath a broken streetlight in a dying autumn twilight
She’s my exploding star
Raining pain on this darkened life
My thoughts scream
Bury her
Burn her
Let her fade to a poetry book entitled
“Of love and loss”
And I’ll never stop reading
Until I decay
I have learned that love was born to die
This broken heart won’t mend

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.
