Because He's There, and He Hates Me Lyrics

i haven't seen you in awhile.
How has it been? it's been awhile.
I'm not okay, not that you care, I'm just passing the time.
Hey! Hey! Hey,
I don't think this is too bad, maybe we can start again?
wait, never-fucking-mind, you're still the same and so am I.
But let's pretend that we're okay, is that okay? Just right now.
I miss your hand inside of mine, I miss the times we'd use to cry,
when mom was drunk and yours just sucked and everything was so sixteen.
And although I still see you around, it's just not the same.

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.

I think it's about one person choosing to remain the same while the other one is refusing to settle. But what do I know. I was duped for a very long time, wasn't I :)
