Writing To Erase Me Lyrics

The windows shut
Blinds are closed
Doors lock
And I find myself trapped
Fighting with my heart
Crumpled papers drowning my thoughts
Keep writing and writing the story that broke my heart
Each word stabs me
My hand is cut by a shattered romance
I can’t keep writing to finish
I just keeping writing to erase me but I can never reach the end
Shattered
The walls are splitting from broken efforts
I can see the light through the cracks that are growing with each fall
But my pain is growing so large and my sand is falling
I’ll never fit through to get out
I’ve lost all hope
And in this darkness of your light
I’m fading away

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.
