Elizabeth Lyrics

I held my sparkler as I walked
Death was inevitable but nobody talked
We’d just forget love
We’d strike the match
And the fuse was life and the light was death

And they gave you pills
That made you swell
Lost the hair on your head
Self-image shot to hell
Spent some time at the beach to my surprise
We would walk and watch the waves,
Synthetic hair in your eyes

Time didn’t wear away my feelings for you, love
Just rusted them and made ‘em hard to find
But I love you
Elizabeth you’re mine

And I’ll try my best here love
But when I don’t succeed
Please come visit me in hell,
Cause that’s where I’ll be
But if I do love, will you have the time?
Cause there’s a million other people that deserve you more than I

Now it’s been two years
Since the day you past
And I’m starting to forget the time I kissed you last
And I feel scared
Cause I love you more

But I love you
Elizabeth, you’re mine

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.

How come this song doesn't have more comments? It's so beautifully written and you can feel how much he loved his mother. My favorite of his album.

This song really hits home. When I found out my mom had cancer, 'nobody talked' either. These lyrics just capture the moment so beautifully. I love the line 'synthetic hair in your eyes'.

I went to church with them when I was a kid. The most beautiful family.
