I Never Saw the Ban Lyrics

I never saw the ban
lock up and close down
your disappointed heart
from the inside

I never saw the ban
see if you can
when everything gets disconnected
and falls apart on the outside

and every night guilt comes on
I wish I could break its right
and make it go someplace good

I never saw the ban
see if you can
turn that fist back
into an open hand

I never saw the ban
thrown into thin bloom
weak and waving
at someone no longer
around
it could have been you

and every night loneliness comes on
I wish I could break it right
and make it glow the way it should

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.
