Pretty Girl from Locust Lyrics

Careful, not to say that I don't care
or haven't, or can't, or will not again
Winter didn't die, she was murdered
and you are the culprit, I am the same

It's only right, it's only right
For you to fall in love with me
Give me a life, give me a life
Give me tonight, it's only right

Thirty days alone with the savior
an angel, a devil, rapture and smoke
And I’m careful, just not to say that I miss you
Cause sometimes, I guess I still miss myself

It's only right, it's only right
For you to fall, in love with me
Give me a life, give me a life
Give me tonight, it's only right

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.
