Dear Traitor, Lyrics

Dear Traitor,

As my hands drop this burden that i've held for so long. Will this let me go? Or has euphoria gotten the best of me?
Given the benefit of the doubt, i'll lie my arms down and let you in.
Betrayal. Is this what you're worth? Or has euphoria gotten the best of me?
I'm wondering how all this began and now i'm wanting it to end. Another moment passes where uncertainty takes its victim. This love and trust is killing me...

I won't be another victim of your ongoing lies.
I'll forgive you this time...
But only this time.

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 dream no more...
