I Want It To Be Lyrics

If I gave you all my secrets
Do you think that you could keep them
If I gave you all my anger
Do you think that you could take it

'Cause I want it to be
Something bigger than me

If I showed you all my castles
Would you teach me not to burn them
If I opened up my heart strings
Could you show me how to heal them

'Cause I want it to be
Something bigger than me
And I want you to know
There's no place to go

It was love that you gave to me
I want you to know
I want you to know
It was love that you gave to me
I want you to know
I want you to know

'Cause I want it to be
Something bigger than me

If I gave you all my secrets
Would you promise not to keep them

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.

This is my favorite song on this album, but just one of many. This album is playing right now in my iTunes. I have thousands of songs in there, but I don't want to listen to anything but these right now. I read another review that put it perfectly. Hearing this album, even from first listen, was like listening to a tried and true friend...familiar and awesome!
