You'll Be the Scarecrow Lyrics

One day i'll have to fly
To the next great unknown
One day i'll be out of here
Back on my own

And when i come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow

You'll be the scarecrow
The one i adore
The one i'll carry with me
Forevermore

You were the special one
Something we shared
The one that i'll miss the most
The one who cared

So when i come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow

You'll be the scarecrow
The one i adore
The one i'll carry with me
Forevermore

There may not be a day
For a due reunion
There may not be a day
For us

One day you'll look and see
A purple sunset
And then you'll know that i'm okay
I'm doing my best
And when i come around for my goodbyes
You'll be the scarecrow

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.
