I Know Lyrics

Don't tell me you're going away
I know
And don't say what you're going to say
I know

Don't expect me to cry
Don't even say goodbye
And don't say life's like that you know
I know

And don't tell me I'm just a kid
I know
And how you loved the things we did
I know

Don't say that it's a shame
And that life's just a game
Just pack your case
And turn your face
And go

For I am not the same when you're not with me
Take away the bank and I will flow

And don't tell me that flowers must die
I know
And that the cup runs dry sometimes
I know

But I have drunk my fill
And quite fulfilled my will
And now there's nothing left to spill
Or show

Oh darling I am not the same without you
You just light the fuse and I will blow

All you have to do my love
Is go

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.
