How Am I to Be Lyrics

How am I to be
With all your silly ways now
How am I to be
With all your silly ways
Now

I can take you home
If you wanna go
I can take you home
If you wanna go
Now

And there's no reason I can see for you to stay
Our truth (troops?) expired when
Armed with my secrets, the fight begins

How am I to be
With all your silly ways now
How am I to be
With all your silly ways
Now

Your past full of land mines I can't see
I can't disengage this heart
What time we been traveled from the start

And in the mornin'
When the smoke cleared there was life
Your white flag raised up high
Come back to my arms honey child

How am I to be
With all your silly ways now
How am I to be
With all your silly ways
Now

I can take you home
I can take you home
I can take you home...

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.

The words in the third stanza are "Our truce expired when..." just in case anyone is wondering.
