Abandoned Lyrics

Sleepless in the night
Try to lose my faith in you
Saying to myself:
You can't be the right one for me

And now that you are gone
I finally get a taste of freedom
Only problem is
I don't really want to be free

I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't want to curse your name
I don't want to feel the sadness
Pretending that I'm still the same
I don't want to burn your letters
I don't want to face the truth
I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't wanna waste my youth

I try to suffocate with your pretends
And I believe in this shallow romance
I ran for cover but couldn't hide
And still you try to get me to a bite

You scratch me like a perfume mad
Erasing all the feelings that I had
And all the time you fake this loneliness
'Cause you wouldn't see my twisted mess

I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't want to curse your name
I don't want to feel the sadness
Pretending that I'm still the same
I don't want to burn your letters
I don't want to face the truth
I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't wanna waste my youth

Sleepless in the night
Try to lose my faith in you
Saying to myself:
You can't be the right one for me

And now that you are gone
I finally get a taste of freedom
Only problem is
I don't really want to be free

I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't want to curse your name
I don't want to feel the sadness
Pretending that I'm still the same
I don't want to burn your letters 
I don't want to face the truth
I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't wanna waste my youth

I try to suffocate with your pretends
And I believe in this shallow romance
I ran for cover but couldn't hide
And still you try to get me to a bite

You scratch me like a perfume mad
Erasing all the feelings that I had
And all the time you fake this loneliness
'Cause you wouldn't see my twisted mess

I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't want to curse your name
I don't want to feel the sadness
Pretending that I'm still the same
I don't want to burn your letters 
I don't want to face the truth
I don't wanna be abandoned
I don't wanna waste my youth

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.
