Safely Forgotten Lyrics

Tonight she cries herself to sleep
on a pillow made of dreams
That she has denied
A whisper made, black candlelight
As she stares at scars from the night
How did this become her life?

I'll try and keep your secret safely forgotten

Your sanctuary has begun to show me
All your life misleading
All your constant sorrow
Still all alone

I'll try and keep your secret safely forgotten

Lying awake brings no relief
Just like the sun drains through the sheets
She only knows to hide
too far away to hear the screams, of a little girl as she pleads
'Oh god, just let me die'

I'll try and keep your secret safely forgotten

Your sanctuary has begun to show me
All your life misleading
All your constant sorrow
Still all alone

Just one more day, to show you all i've changed
please take me back, home
Been gone so long, oh mother please
Again on my knees, oh help me please

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.
