Angel on a String Lyrics

I put her heart onto a string
and flew it high above
the
misery of the city
If you're looking for examples don't choose me
I bled your hard earned songs to keep
and wore your promises of
everything I tend to be
if you're looking for examples don't choose me...

Win or lose, you'll have to choose. But don't choose me. If you're looking for examples don't choose me....

I flew this angel on a string,
and flew her high above the
misery of everything
if you're looking for examples don't choose me
I bled for days for songs you sing
and made you promises I can keep if you stay to see
they're looking for examples don't choose me...

Win or lose, you'll have to choose. But don't choose me. If you're looking for examples don't choose me....

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.
