If I Were Lyrics

If I were your friend then I wouldn't be very blue
Cause sometimes you would have me around you
If I were a smile I could feel your lips so warm
If I were your love then would I be in your arms
If I were a prayer you say before you go sleep tight
Then I know I'd be in your mind tonight
If I were a song the words you sing would tell of me
If I were your love then I wouldn't be lonely
Wishful thinking in a world of fantasy yes someone you just forgot
And you only might as well believe for I can be something that I'm not
If I were your picture your love for me would always last
If I were your love then I wouldn't be just your past
If I were your love then I wouldn't be just your past
No if I were your love then I wouldn't be just your past

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.
