January Lyrics

You stand there calm and beautiful
you never understood
you stand there calm and beautiful
like I never could
so I didn't think it would come to this
you're the one I missed the one I missed
in the making up of making out
I forget what I missed forget what I
the only time I feel alive
is the rush of these threats and the rush of these lies
but I don't believe in suicide
no I don't believe
you stand there stare down at me
you never understood
I lie I cheat I lie I steal
like you never could
so I didn't think it would come to this
I'm the one you missed the one you missed
I'm making up our making out
and I think you love it I think you
the only time I feel alive
is the rush of these threats and the rush of these lies
but I don't believe in suicide
no I don't believe in suicide
I wish you would take away
every breath every word every line I say
it's a pretty undercurrent
don't look now you're right
the only time I feel alive
is the rush of these threats and the rush of these lies
but I don't believe in suicide
no I don't believe in suicide

You stand there calm and beautiful 
you never understood
you stand there calm and beautiful 
like I never could
so I didn't think it would come to this
you're the one I missed the one I missed
in the making up of making out
I forget what I missed forget what I
the only time I feel alive
is the rush of these threats and the rush of these lies
but I don't believe in suicide
no I don't believe 
you stand there stare down at me 
you never understood
I lie I cheat I lie I steal 
like you never could
so I didn't think it would come to this
I'm the one you missed the one you missed
I'm making up our making out
and I think you love it I think you
the only time I feel alive
is the rush of these threats and the rush of these lies
but I don't believe in suicide
no I don't believe in suicide
I wish you would take away 
every breath every word every line I say
it's a pretty undercurrent 
don't look now you're right
the only time I feel alive
is the rush of these threats and the rush of these lies
but I don't believe in suicide
no I don't believe in suicide

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.
