A Sigh Lyrics

A sigh from the deepest well
You can tell a lot without saying a thing
The truth, between us my friend
This longing
A sigh for lonliness to end
No changing the story now
A sigh from the emptiest part
It's a tender place
A sigh
Is more than I can bear
This show is not fooling anyone
And its all for you
But I think you're mind is made up

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.

Really great track. I think this song is about someone who doesn't realize what they actually have in this life, so they sigh and think "whatever."

this is a song of companionship and nostalgia over losing a loved one; here, a close friend.

the sigh of the song: it's what we will all experience along the way - loss.

I just listened to this song, its usaully one off the album I prefer to skip but not this time. The haunting rise just speaks of such loss and emotion. I've always connected it to the suicide of their old drummer, Paul Hester. The Time on Earth album is dedicated to him and I felt many of the songs are to do with him. Hester battled with depression and I think the lines "A sigh for loneliness to end/ this show is not fooling anyone" is completely about what he went through.
