Poor Celine Lyrics

oh poor selling
you could paint in years
my will, collapsing
with a razor-blade
keep me warm in crimson sleeves, unravel
in words
of fear
come out and save me
lies, clenched teeth
we'll be here forever
and never
i drive too fast
i can almost feel the windshield
pierce my skin
i can't help it
i get overwhelmed and give
it happens too fast
every time
hurts worse
all my friends hate me
i don't care
i'll be here forever
and never
come back to sleep
i'm drowning by myself
come back there's nobody out there
"he keeps my secrets down in his throat" then...
"and just for the record, we're never breaking up"
so why the fear
come out and save me
why hold back
we'll be here forever
and never
never die, never care
i'm gonna tell you to wait there
i'm gonna tell you to stay there
never die
never care

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.

It says so in the lyric booklet too. I just assumed it was kind of a malapropistic joke regarding the first lines of the song. Or maybe it really is that and it was just mistyped, haha.
