The Painter Lyrics

I am just a painter
I do my crappy art
But I see what's in your eyes
And I know what's in your heart

I have to go now
The cops are on the way
And I haven't got a license
But I got a lot to say

Don't give up on your dreams, boy
Don't give up on your dreams now, buddy

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.

i think these are more correct:

i am just a painter i do my crappy art but i see what's in your eyes and i know what's in your heart

i have to go now the cops are on the way and i haven't got a license but i got a lot to say

don't give on your dreams, boy don't give up on your dreams, now, buddy.

(repeat)
