Pity Lyrics

The end of the world couldn't tear me away from this.
And if we were the last two people on earth I would be the happiest man.
So drown them all, open the floodgates and drown them all.
They are the cancer and we are the cure.
Let's skip to the last page and see how it ends.
Wake up; promise me you will wake up.
You saved my life and that's all I need.
Just don't leave me now - don't quit on me now.
You are all I have.
The world will never stop unless we make it stop.
The sky will never fall unless we let it fall.
So this is the end.
And the world is ours.

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.

Good song. I'd never listened to it before today when I was going to store and my player was just going through The Dead Walk. And this song came on. And I was like "Whoa. This is good."

I think it's written to a girl that Vincent is really in love with, but some tragic happened to her (a coma perhaps?) and he desperately wants her to wake up. He stays by her side and nothing could tear him from her. He would be incrediably happy if he could have only her and no one else. She is everything that he has, everything he needs.

I can definetly relate to that feeling.

I could be wrong about the meaning though.
