Dance Like We Used To Lyrics

Though we dance to a song of joy
We are not singing the words
Inside we scream a song for hope
Hiding sorrow under once shared sheets
I can’t sleep in that bed anymore
I can’t gaze at the stars anymore
Is there a cure?
For this cut we keep inflicting on each other
Should we stop trying to hold this sand?
Should we have stopped believing?
When our lips started laying lies on each other
I feel you slipping away
I wish I could hold you like I used to
I wish our box was still filled with flowers
But we’re becoming a broken record that keeps playing
Play it again
Maybe this time well get our steps right
Love will find a way
I’m not losing you tonight

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.
