Melanie Flury Lyrics

Yeah, I wish that you had told me you had an appointment with your doctor at 4am, 'cause it's safe to assume you leapt out of my room through the window for some important obligation and not 'cause you're weird.
Yeah, I wish that you had told me that your dad gets up at 4am and if I wanted to leave it'd be out through the window
Yeah, I wanted to leave but I didn't want it to be me breaking up in your car on the way to my birthday.

Would you believe I'm back.
They built your house on a cul-de-sac.
They built my brain outta beans and my heart outta nothing.

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 love thinking about the time that I submitted this song. 6 whole years ago and it seems like yesterday. Goddamn time passes fast.

I still love this song.
