Surrender Lyrics

I told you that you would not believe me
I told you that you wouldn't need me
If I told you a lie
Told you a lie

I told you that you wouldn't believe me
I told you that you wouldn't need me
If I told you a lie
Told you a lie

I'm about to surrender
Whoa whoa
Take that ribbon off my finger
Cause you don't want me to remember
Whoa whoa
I'm about to surrender

Trust me and I won't ever lose it
Just give me some more time to prove it
Cause I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try

Trust me and I won't ever lose it
Just give me some more time to prove it
Cause I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try

I'm about to surrender
Whoa whoa
Take that ribbon off my finger
Cause you don't want me to remember
Whoa whoa
I'm about to surrender

Almost got away with it
Carried away with
These feelings I never owned
Won't you signal me home
Leave me alone
I'll lay and I dream
Fill my head burst the seams
With these noises I don't quite know
Won't you leave me alone

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.
