The Right Thing Lyrics

I can't stand the way it is
I can do nothing
I can see the sun's big bang

If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?
If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?

I never meant to let you down but I'm giving it up
And you don't understand that I never, ever meant to let you down
I'm giving it up, I'm giving it up

I've got to make my way without you
I've got to do something
I've got to make my way, baby

If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?
If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?

I never meant to let you down but I'm giving it up
And you don't understand that I never, ever meant to let you down
I'm giving it up, I'm giving it up

Why're you still
Why're you still
Why're you still in my house
Why're you still
Why're you still
Why're you still in my house
Why're you still
Why're you still in my house
Why're you still

If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?
If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?

I never meant to let you down but I'm giving it up
And you don't understand that I never, ever meant to let you down
I'm giving it up, I'm giving it up

What Is Happening?

I can't stand the way it is
I can do nothing
I can see the sun's big bang

If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?
If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?

I never meant to let you down but I'm giving it up
And you don't understand that I never, ever meant to let you down
I'm giving it up, I'm giving it up

I've got to make my way without you
I've got to do something
I've got to make my way, baby

If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?
If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?

I never meant to let you down but I'm giving it up
And you don't understand that I never, ever meant to let you down
I'm giving it up, I'm giving it up

Why're you still
Why're you still
Why're you still in my house
Why're you still
Why're you still
Why're you still in my house
Why're you still
Why're you still in my house
Why're you still

If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?
If this is not the right thing, the right thing
Why do we stay, baby?

I never meant to let you down but I'm giving it up
And you don't understand that I never, ever meant to let you down
I'm giving it up, I'm giving it up

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.
