Brighter Lyrics

You never sleep to take rest
You never speak your mind to impress
Only fools brush him

And your smile burns brighter than the rest
And you smile at me as I brush your breast
Tired but sweet
Watch them fall at your feet

Always in my line of sight
Never hold on too tight
You just keep on coming
At your feet they are falling
And you just keep on coming
At your feet they are falling
Always looking but never touch

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.

My god. No one has commented on this yet!

Such a wonderful song. In my opinion, the narrator of the song knows a girl who is cheerful, but in a lot of pain/extremely troubled. She doesn't trust a single person ("only fools rush in"). She buries her pain and loses herself in sex and promiscuity. Men flock after her because she's too tired to say no to anything, and she watches them "fall at [her] feet", always smiling and never stopping for breath. But, though the men get physically close to her, they always "look but never touch" - she never lets anyone get close to who she really is.

The song almost seems to be sung from the perspective of one of these pursuant men. Amazing, powerful stuff.

Also, I think it's supposed to be "only fools rush in", ala Shakespeare.
