I Died On Television Lyrics

Now this valentine seems so empty and cold, and no one loves you when you’re a ghost.

Now you better get used to it – seeing your own baby’s name in his mother’s writing. And does the desert make you feel taller? Can you trade a name for a number?

Before you even and went and found the clothes to try to make your graduation robe, you were wondering what would match your gun – the kind of things you’d like to hide from us.

And now the company, it comes to halt. Why doesn’t anyone believe in us? 538 wrapped in flag, doesn’t really count as coming home.

Telephone sympathy sighs, funeral home vacation time.

I died on television.

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.
