If You're Gonna Fly Away Lyrics

If you're gonna fly away
dont fly without me
dont go no where
I need you, babe

Has the sun gone down on you
Have you given up on truth
I wish I could say all the right things to make your pain go away
I wish you knew how beautiful you are in every way
When the world is falling down
Just kneel with me and pray

chorus
If your gonna fly away
Don't fly without me
Don't go nowhere
I need you, Babe
If you gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you

So you'll take a thousand pills
Hoping to be numb
Lie awake in bed
Counting all that's wrong
No one understands
No one ever will
Trust me when I tell you
I know just how you feel
You had all these dreams but you're in a small town
Oh, they kill them for you
You had nothing else to do
But use and use and use and use

chorus

Just sing a song for me baby
It's not as bad as it seems, no no no
What matters today won't matter tomorrow
Count all your blessing, settle all your sorrow

chorus

If you gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you
oooo, I need ya

This Kiss

Cry (Angie Aparo cover)

Like We Never Loved At All

If you're gonna fly away
dont fly without me
dont go no where
I need you, babe

chorus
If your gonna fly away
Don't fly without me
Don't go nowhere
I need you, Babe
If you gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you

So you'll take a thousand pills
Hoping to be numb
Lie awake in bed
Counting all that's wrong
No one understands
No one ever will 
Trust me when I tell you
I know just how you feel
You had all these dreams but you're in a small town
Oh, they kill them for you
You had nothing else to do
But use and use and use and use

chorus

Just sing a song for me baby
It's not as bad as it seems, no no no
What matters today won't matter tomorrow
Count all your blessing, settle all your sorrow

chorus

If you gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you
oooo, I need ya

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.
