A Thousand Words Lyrics

Picking things apart
Seemed easy last night
I'll try another time
To prove you wrong

And what is left to say?
Your actions beat my words
I've used up all I can
This time

Pa da pa - pa da pa da

Your broken eyes reveal
Your stories left intact
I'm turning every page
With great care

I'm finally waking up
To relive the same old dream
I'll randomize your words
Till they make sense

And every seconds worth
A thousand words

And every seconds worth
A thousand words

She will erase
Tear up and forget
Page after page

Her story is gone
Sucked up from the inside
Paper to dust

And every seconds worth
A thousand words

And every seconds worth
A thousand words

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.
