When You Leave Lyrics

You said he’s so, so, so, so considerate
So consider it your responsibility
You need to fix something
That I’d not have the strength to do
But it’s me not you
Does that make me weak?
At the knees I suppose
I’m just like everyone else I know
I can dream
I can dream the same things you dream or dreamt
I wonder if my symptoms are loss of sleep
I hope so, I hope so badly

I said he’s so, so, so, so inanimate
So get out of it, it’s your responsibility
To take care of yourself
A new born baby, in a scary world
And when you leave will you please come back to me
I can dream
I can dream
And I see me and you being perfectly happy

I can dream
I can dream the same things you dream or dreamt
I wonder if my symptoms are loss of sleep
I hope so
I can dream

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.
