Please Don't Put Out the Light Lyrics

please don't put out the light
I'm sleeping on the floor again
tonight.

happen almost overnight
i slipped and pushed the door again

when did you notice there's nothing there?
inbetween this picture and me
it's all gone quiet

well i thought i'd lost your smile
it played across my eyes again
tonight

and you look so very fine
except for where the paper's creased and torn

when did you notice there's nothing left?
inbetween this picture and me
it's all gone

so lean into me
lean into me
we'll rest right here
so lean into me
lean into me
we'll rest

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.
