Separate Rooms Lyrics

My head is filled with distant thunder
For I no longer sleep
I just lay there and wonder

My head is filled with acts of rage
For I can not relive my days

Don't know why I love you
'Cause I seem to forget
Don't know how much I love you
But it's more than a little bit

(chorus)
But I can't make you happy
And you can't make me care
So let's go to our separate rooms and
Leave each other there
But I can't make you happy
And you can't make me care
So let's go to our separate rooms and
Leave each other there

Reflecting on the times we'd bicker
The words formed from our mouths were bitter
Emotions felt were thrown in the air
And severed well beyond repair

Don't know why I love you
'Cause I seem to forget
Don't know how much I love you
But it's more than a little bit

(chorus)

Don't know why...
I can never make you happy
Don't know why
You can never make me care

Don't know why...
I can never make you happy
Don't know why
You can never make me care

I can't
Make you
Happy...
You can't
Make me care...

My head is filled with distant thunder
For I no longer sleep
I just lay there and wonder
 
My head is filled with acts of rage
For I can not relive my days
 
Don't know why I love you
'Cause I seem to forget
Don't know how much I love you
But it's more than a little bit
 
(chorus)
But I can't make you happy
And you can't make me care
So let's go to our separate rooms and 
Leave each other there
But I can't make you happy
And you can't make me care
So let's go to our separate rooms and 
Leave each other there
 
Reflecting on the times we'd bicker
The words formed from our mouths were bitter
Emotions felt were thrown in the air
And severed well beyond repair
 
Don't know why I love you
'Cause I seem to forget
Don't know how much I love you
But it's more than a little bit
 
(chorus)

Don't know why...
I can never make you happy
Don't know why
You can never make me care

Don't know why...
I can never make you happy
Don't know why
You can never make me care
 
I can't
Make you
Happy...
You can't
Make me 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.
