When I Said I Would Lyrics

The first time
That I ever
Saw your face
I felt something
Stop me in my place
The kinda thing
That you
Just can't see
Coming your way

I closed my eyes
And I jumped right in
Zero to sixty
And to the win
With my head held high
Like it was
Never coming home
And I trusted you
When you asked me to

When I said I would
Tell me
What was I thinking
I gave my heart
Without even blinking
That's all you got?
Well baby
That's just no good
(Whoa)
Don't give me that lie
You know I won't buy it
You're as good at love
As you are at lying
You said "uh-huh"
But I just don't think
You understood
When I said I would

I stood by you
Played by the rules
For a second I thought
That you did too
Makes me wonder
How long you
Would have let me
Be a fool
I gave it my best
This is what I get

When I said I would
Tell me
What was I thinking
I gave my heart
Without even blinking
That's all you got?
Well, baby
That's just no good
(Whoa)
Don't give me that lie
You know I won't buy it
You're as good at love
As you are at lying
You said "uh-huh"
But I just don't think
You understood
When I said I would
Uuuuuhhhhh
When I said I would

I'm taking back
(When I said
I would love you)
I'm taking back
(Every kiss
That I gave you)
I'm taking back
(Every promise
I made you)
I'm taking back
Everything
That I said

When I said I would
Tell me
What was I thinking
I gave my heart
Without even blinking
That's all you got?
Well, baby
That's just no good
(Whoa)
Don't give me that lie
You know I won't buy it
You're as good at love
As you are at lying
You said "Uh-huh"
But I just don't think
You understood
When I said I would
When I said I would

(Whoa)
Don't give me that lie
You know I won't buy it
You're as good at love
As you are at lying
You said "Uh-huh"
But I just don't think
You understood
When I said I would
When I said I would

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.

i think it just hit me. this is like the story of my life. the guys a sweet talker. all he does is lie to get in her pants? hes just a jerk. and a sweet talker. and shes oblivious cause she likes him way to much. then she starts to realize that she gave it up to easy. and he hes doing is using her. and shes taking it back and regretting everything she ever did with him. she finally starts to stand her ground. and stands up for herself. and it feels fantastic.
