You Could Never Tell Lyrics

We sat in the half light
I didn't know what to say
Oh you could never tell
Why I do these things
Why did I do these things
I knew I wouldn't want to know
I have betrayed myself
For something poor and shallow

She was talking about
Something she heard
She was talking about
Something she heard
She was talking about
Something she heard
She was talking about
Something she heard

Finally I'm closing in
On what I have been chasing
But as the moment comes
It's just by expectation
Ice wings of paradise
The sky will try to follow
That first kiss you had
Will curse all your tomorrows

She was talking about
Something she heard
She was talking about
Something she heard
She was talking about
Something she heard
She was talking about
Something she heard

Is it any wonder
I easily find her
I stand by the fountain
When I call she answers
Though I say
No I don't know
You're right>

She was talking about
Something she heard
She was talking about
Something she heard
She was talking about
Something she heard
She was talking about
Something she heard

Something she heard
Something she heard
Something she heard
Something she heard
Something she heard

We sat in the half light
I didn't know what to say 
Oh you could never tell 
Why I do these things 
Why did I do these things 
I knew I wouldn't want to know 
I have betrayed myself 
For something poor and shallow

She was talking about

It's just by expectation 
Ice wings of paradise

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.

The first line, I think, is "We sat in the half light..."
