Train Not Stopping Lyrics

This is the last stop,
the emptiest platform
The final walk home
in a rainstorm

Caught in this dead light,
soaked in this fever
I'm sorry to say that
I'm scared to be so alone

It seems so simple right now:
What I could have done
is what I should have done

This is the last song
'cause I'm all of being ignored
Did someone move the goalposts?
Did someone change the signposts?

Tell me what I've done
I'm quite that bad -- no, really?
Be brutal, won't you
Hurt me if you need to

It seems so simple right now:
What I could have done
is what I should have done

I'm just taking my time

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.
