Remission (Promise Me) Lyrics

This is the last time
The last time that I sway
No longer will you dictate what I do or say

I've taken a leave of absence
I've taken a leave of the senses
And there's nothing in the world that can change this
Life is diminished

I'm leaving you
And everything I knew
Tomorrow only leads to more sorrow
But I don't care
Pretend your unaware
I was never there...

No one cries more than I
Take my life but scared to die

I feel so incomplete
Everything is way beyond me
Watching my life go by
Standing on the sideline

I'm leaving you
And everything I knew
And everything is... You
I'm leaving you
And everything I knew
Tomorrow only leads to more sorrow
But I don't care
Pretend you unaware
I was never there
But I don't care
Pretend you unaware
I was never there

Standing on the sidelines
Where I've been left behind
Waiting on the sidelines
Waiting for the right 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.
