Awake Lyrics

a break in the fighting
under desert stars
"I'll wait for you"
she said
but she couldn't know
what could come home

I stay awake and
make no mistake I
I fight this war for you
hey
was it worth all this?
was it worth all this?
was it worth all this?
oh

all my problems
they're camouflaged
in these fatigues
I've begun
to doubt our breed
of violent peace
yeah

I stay awake and
make no mistake I
I fight this war for you
hey
was it worth all this?
was it worth all this?
was it worth all this?
oh no

hey
I stay awake and
I make no mistake I
I'll write your wrong for you
hey
was it worth all this?
was it worth all this?
was it worth all this?
all this?
oh no

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.
