Even Though Lyrics

Something about the way he touched me.
Was so slow, the way he put his arms around me.
Even though I’m feeling lonely,
I’m, I’m feeling lonely.

Don’t understand the words he said,
made me do wrong.
But now there’s nothing that’s in my head
And though it’s strong, I wish he’d leave me alone,
I wish he’d leave me

'Cause I know, trouble will follow
But I have to go
I have to go

‘Cause I know, trouble will follow
But I have to go
But I have to go

He makes me think that I don’t know me
So I’ll show him what I remember all the things he showed me
And I want more,
I’m feeling lonely
Oh, I’m feeling lonely

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 don't think it's an ex-boyfriend, I think it's a person she knows, who's being affectionate towards her and he knows it makes her weak, but she still feels alone.

I love this song! A favorite from the album for sure.

I have my ideas about the meaning. An ex-boyfriend that she still sees/hangs out/is intimate with, even though (hint hint) she is well aware that she shouldn't do so. "'Cause I know trouble will follow, but I have to go...": it's bad for her and there are consequences, but she can't help herself and she has to go see him. The "I'm feeling lonely" indicates that she is alone and single, technically speaking.

At least that's what I think.
