Lie Awake Lyrics

We all try and hide behind our face
We all make mistakes we cant erase
I've tried and tried to be just what they want
I gave my heart away to only rot
I gave it to you
We all lie awake at night
We all lie awake and cry
We all begin to see inside our lies
In the end the truth is no surprise
Lie down, shed a tear by you side
Thank you friends that your still alive
There's nothing left when you're fake in your face
Just remember next time to embrace
I miss you
But I don't love you any more
Take me, take my heart and bleed it more, make me feel alone
Take my soul and burn it in celebration
My unavailable separation from the desire to smile draws tears from my heart
For I know the smile I seek has not been created for me to smile

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.
