Deaf Ears Lyrics

You can count out in whispers
Keep measure of time and space for days
For all your working out of figures
I'll be cursed to lay awake

When your best days come and go
And those desperate fears take hold
You'll pray

But your prayers fall on deaf ears tonight, my love
You keep reaching farther and faster for something more

You said no more words permitted
Only shadow's play could ever persuade
Now the darkness falls all around you
Suffer to know your cold heart's to blame

When your best days come and go
And those desperate fears take hold
You'll pray

But your prayers fall on deaf ears tonight, my love
You keep reaching farther and faster for something more

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.
