You Can Run, But We'll Find You Lyrics

Have you
Have you been keeping secrets from me?
Hoped I wouldn’t find out
And you would just go free
There’s a whole world besides your window pane
And I’ve got scars to prove it

But you should’ve known
You should’ve known
You should’ve known
You should’ve known

Run
You can run
You can run
But we’ll find you

Was it everything you hoped it would be?
What kept your world spinning left you dizzy
Your apologies will never soothe the sting
Just keep scratching our eyes out

But you should’ve known
You should’ve known
You should’ve known
You should’ve known

Run
You can run
You can run
But we’ll find you

We’ll find you

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.
