Surviving Lyrics

I'll stand at your shoulder
I'll keep you running right
Keep you running right
I'll fight in your corner
I'll stay by your side
I'll stay by your side

There's no need now to worry
Our love's still here tomorrow

There aint no use in crying
for whats keeping us divided
Baby we're still trying, we're still trying

We're too old to worry
About who's wrong and who is right
Is's all so by and by
People need a villain
Someone to pay the price
It keeps them satisfied

There's no need now to worry
I'll still be here tomorrow

There aint no use in crying
for whats keeping us divided
Baby we're still trying, we're still trying

Baby we're still trying
Baby we're surviving

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.

this song is the shit.

i think its basicly about a failing relationship that they are trying to work out. fanning is talking about how even though they are still trying to make it work, and maybe hey aren't quite together anymore, he's still there for her.
