Refuse To Reach Lyrics

Standing on this cliff
My back to the edge
Burden has taken hold
And broke my wings
These cuts wont heal
They only increase in number
I can’t pull free from this
Knife in my back
My hands outstretched
Reaching for a reason not to say goodbye
Grasping nothing
My hands are refusing to reach any longer
I brush my heart form my sleeve
To fall in the dirt and rest in peace
It should be safer away from me
Trust you to catch me
Through your hands I fall
Fall back from everything
The wind whispers in my ear
She never said goodbye

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.
