Casualty of Love Lyrics

the silent night is keeping me from sleep
2am I'm running with bare feet
heart beat rising I was just 16
caught a taxi hoping I'm not seen
so naive I could not bear to wait
oh, oh what I didn' t know
I never loved him so
what was real
and though he was a drug to me
but he's the casualty of love
through my neighborhood I didn't care
nothing could stop me from getting there
had my sickness he was my medicine
so in lust he could have been anyone
not so special
mom was right afterall
oh, oh what I didn' t know
I never loved him so
what was real
and though he was a drug to me
but he's the casualty of love
mama was right there was no love
it's all in my mind
just an obsession with him
what a wast of my time
mama was right there was no love
it's all in my mind
just an obsession with him
what a wast of my time
oh, oh what I didn' t know
I never loved him so
what was real
and though he was a drug to me
but he's the casualty of love

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.
