Talking to the Dark Lyrics

i read a story
didn't like the ending
'cause it left me cold and dark
read the first and the last part
to the end, from the start

if you had to tell me
tell me something
something really, really hard
you'd expect me to listen
to each and every part

am i talking to myself
am i talking to the dark
am i talking to myself
or are you talking to my heart

slipped through my fingers
another worn out singer
crumpled pages, tore out heart
leaves me frustrated
peering through the dark

tell me how i blew it
i'll put it to music
and we can fix this steel-string heart
then this faceless forgiveness
could be a real work of art

am i talking to myself
am i talking to the dark
am i talking to myself
or are you talking to my heart

am i talking to myself
am i talking to the dark
am i talking to myself
are you talking to my heart

are you talking to my heart
are you talking to my heart
are you talking to my heart

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.

just some amendments to the lyrics before the edit function returns:

if you had to tell me, tell me something

am i talking to myself, am i talking to the dark, am i talking to myself, or are you talking to my heart

slipped through my flingers, another worn out singer, crumpled pages, tore out heart, leaves me frustrated, peering through the dark

we could fix this steel string heart, then this faceless forgiveness, could be a real piece of art
