Too Long for a Headstone Lyrics

Now I know how I want to die (I die like this)
I want my heart to explode from all the love inside
I'll be suffocated by your sweetest kiss (kiss me)
It would be alright if I died like this
So if I have to die let me tell you now would be a very good time
Crushed to death by your strong embrace (I was crushed to pieces)
Take me from this place with a smile on my face
I ran so fast that my body couldn't take it (I ran till my heart exploded)
Your hand swept down and it was totally painless
But if I have to die let me tell you now would be a very good time
What would I say if it happened to me
I'd say I'm not ready to die yet
I got a lot to do so just leave me be
Cause I'm not ready to die yet
Cause I love living and I don't want to give in just yet
Cause I love living but you say I have to give in sooo
When I strike this chord let it blow me to fucking pieces

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.
