Alice Lyrics

When I lost him ache
Shudder shock of pale
My, my true love
Nicolo Eperdu these days are
Smoking days
Though he won't see
(Deceived me) You deceive me
(With you) Erase it I will not
(To stay) Touching a helix (Didn't she know Alex?)
(I will plead) Blotting an excuse you
(Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice)
Would share
(Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice)
Who shall
(Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice)
Replace
(Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice, Alice)
You?

When I lost him ache
Shudder shock of pale
My, my true love
Nicolo Eperdu This mess I smoke away
And he won't see
(Pushing me) Oops she fell
(With you) Racin' her bike
(So you) Touching her lies
(not me)

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 love this song. Obviously it's about her losing a guy, and he deceived her. There could be some hidden philosophical meaning behind it, but I don't think that deep into it. ;)

Love this song. The piano is great, and was perfect for the theme for The Lovely Bones.
