The Monuments They Build For You Will Be Mountains Lyrics

Your face smiling down on us from above
We miss you so much
We'll always remember
Remnants of what you were will remain true
To the image we hold of you in our hearts
Your words engraved on our hearts
We will never forget your eyes
I hope one day to possess the love you gave
To one day be like you, possess your patience and virtue
Your kindness forever engraved on my heart
We'll see each other again one day
Until then, we'll miss you for always

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.

Great lyrics, as for the song it's ok, but it doesn't fit with the lyrics. No clean vocals either, someone said this song had clean vocals. nice though
