I Lost You To The City (demo) Lyrics

I lost you to the city
I gave you all my love
I lost you to the deep blue sea
Burn your picture on the wall

I lost you to the city
I lost you to the life
I lost you to the city
But your picture's alright

I lost you to the city
I gave you all my love
I lost you to the deep blue sea
Burn your picture on the wall

I gave you all my love... (etc)

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.

I guess this song is about the person you're with getting involved with some kind of scene (possibly with drugs) and deciding they're too good for you now and concentrating on what they've found instead. I guess I think this because scenes/drug scenes tend to happen more in the city than anywhere.
