Three Lyrics

I tried to understand you, but I can't.

I wish you could see yourself standing there now: so tall, so proud, and so bold.

Do you recognize these footprints in the sand?

They have always been your own.

It was beautiful when I walked outside and realized that I could look straight through the sky and not be afraid.

So what if I die everyday a little more inside, it's just another night to lie awake and wonder.

I've written a thousand pages in her name and I just want to know does she ever wonder, does she remember, does she even care.

It's been so long. Now my soul has shattered, left broken glass under her feet as she walks away.

I still remember when we were beautiful, it was so beautiful.

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.

@Beeno 7 years late but thought I'd share my thoughts just in case you're still around. I like the original better for the Kurt vongurt spoken word part at the beginning. Hearing that read during that song has changed my whole perspective on life just because it's this whole thing about human awareness and souk then goes on to sing about how ones soul can be affected so much by another human being.
