Cover Lyrics

when you're happy then i'm happy
and my eyes will surely tear
it's not easy being happy
and we'll both be made fun of
i'm not sickly but i could be
if i followed trends more closely
they'll keep taunting
i'll stay happy
i can still feel your coat sleeve
shallow! stay out! you know better!
like a clear glass when i'm full up i look empty
and wishing i could know just for certain
what you know for sure
like the snap of a mind made up this could hurt me
this wishing i could know just for certain
what you know for sure
it's never one thing...
it's all at once
and it makes my breathing
harder than you know
when i know for certain that you know for sure
out on a line all alone so cover me
i'll move along but it's nothing that i know
so cover me
out of my mind and you know so cover me
i'll take the hard road and learn it as i move
straight and slow...
...think of the scenery...

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.
