false starts Lyrics

It's cold out there
And I am so scared
To make a mistake
One more tear is more than I can take

Chorus
With butterflies and starry eyes
We rush the line with chivalry but
We don’t know what we’re fighting for

With false starts and broken hearts
We see the sun and fall apart
And it’s not worth it now
Why should we rush this?
Why should we touch this?
How can we say if it's love?
One thing’s for sure if love is pure
It is blessed from above

Chorus

This feels so wrong
We’ve known all along
This isn’t right

Chorus

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.

From my point of veiw i see this song as being about love. But it's more of the fact that we as sinful people try to push love to quickly and make it all about what we want and who we want. it says "we rush the line with chivalry but we don't know what we're fighting for" and by that it seems to me that we rush romance but we don't know what romance is. without God there is no true romance. and then it says "one thing's for sure, if love is pure it is blessed from above." saying that the only way we can have true pure love is if it's love that God has planned for us. we as sinners have nothing good about us, but when we love like God wants us to through Jesus, when we find that one person God made for us... then the love we have in that relationship will be amazing. :)
