I Can't Say Lyrics

If you break that's all you can do
My mistake was I thought more of you
If you find yourself beside me looking for some faith
I can't say that our world is safe
When I'm on my way to another lonely place

Lasting heartache is now in view
A cold dark shade that once was you
If you find yourself beside me looking for some faith
I can't say that our world is safe
When I'm on my way to another lonely place
I can't say that our world is safe
When I'm on my way I'm sad to leave this
Pale eyes on a sullen face
Frail ties and time misplaced
time misplaced

So if you break that's all you can do
My mistake was I thought I knew you but
Colours bleed through, Colours bleed through
And you who I thought that I knew
Colours bleed through
I can't say that our world is safe
When I'm on my way to another lonely place
I can't say that our world is safe
When I'm on my way with the will to leave this place
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Colours bleed through
Colours bleed through

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.

Great song!!!

I'm not sure what the Trews were thinking during the writing of this song...but for me, it makes me think about what's coming after death.

Being a Christian, I'm pretty excited about getting to heaven, I'm been told that it's amazing. I think a lot of other believers in "life after death", from various religious faiths, are equally excited to be "on my way with the will to leave this place"...So excited, in fact, that we forget there is a lot of trouble in the world ("I can't say that our world is safe") like war, and human slavery, and abuse, that we all need to help fix.

Don't get me wrong, I'm so stoked for heaven, it's just that I now realize that until then, there's work to be done here and now.

Yeah, that's just what I got from it - again, probably NOT the Trews were thinking. :P
