Better Lyrics

Two fires, they're breathing
Running out of air
Two hearts, they're beating
Feeding this affair

It's too far for a clean escape
Demons on my sleeve
They're not what you expected
When I asked you to believe

For you, for me
Make me a better man
For you, for me
Make me a better man

With your eyes on my secrets,
God knows what you'll see
There's so much to my story,
But you're the perfect ending

I haven't found what you're looking for
I haven't found what you need
But don't think what you're after is
More than I can be

For you, for me
Make me a better man
For you, for me
Make me a better man

Wrapped in Rain
I'm tired
Of faux desires
Of makeshift men
And their wires

So give me Love... Tangible...

I want the truth to breathe
Fire inside of creed
Open my arms for me
Won't

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 goes deeper in meaning. But some of what I see... is it's about two middle age people in love, and their relationship is grower as they continue to get to know each other more. Their relationship has grown so far now and to a place where running away or quitting is no longer an option. To far in and committed..even though the challenges continue to surface, they see the challenges are actually causing their love for each other to grow and strengthening their bond . As they learn more about each other they commit to love each other despite their flaws/demons and continue to accept each other as their love grows stronger. They continue to work on themselves to evolve in their personal growth to be better partners for each other to each other.
