These Alterations Lyrics

I know it's selfish, I can't help it
It ain't going away
It's a shame but I can't
Pull it together any better than I did yesterday
I can't face it and I
Run away
And then I come running
Yeah, I don't care
But I look in your eyes
I'm unaware and undecided
Now you can't save me
But I'm hoping that you might try
These alterations
Don't give it away
Then I don't mind
But I don't feel like
Hey, these alterations
Don't give it away
But I don't mind

I try to talk, the words fall out
I just don't know what to say
I get tongue tied, why lie
You come around bringing me down
Then bring me up and away
I can't face it and I
Run away
And then come running
Yeah, I don't care
But I'm hoping that you might try
These alterations
Don't give it away
Then I don't mind
But I don't feel like
Hey, these alterations
Don't give it away
But I don't mind

So don't make a sound
It's all been said
What have we found
For so many times around

These alterations
Don't give it away
Then I don't mind
But I don't feel like
Hey, these alterations
Don't give it away
But I don't mind

Quixotes Last Ride

For Tonight

Quixotes Last Ride

Don't Forget To Breathe

Lullaby

So don't make a sound
It's all been said
What have we found
For so many times around

These alterations
Don't give it away
Then I don't mind
But I don't feel like
Hey, these alterations
Don't give it away
But I don't mind

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.
