As a Ghost Lyrics

Any other pales, she was the best type of jail. The rarest gem to find, yet she was the worst of her kind. There's nowhere to hide, memories are there until you die. A clothed youthful dream, undressed by fragile broken seams. It's a shame that I'm alive, then she could love me the most, unless of course I should die young then surely I'd haunt her as a ghost. A farce on parade, with the look of a liar, it's a powerful thing that she preached. A promise not made, with feet to the fire, it's a thing that she held out of reach. I'm caught up in her mane. To quit or carry on is the same. A wish like a scar remains. Any other pales, she was the best type of jail. The rarest gem to find, yet she was the worst of her kind. It's a shame that I'm alive, then she could love me the most, unless of course I should die young, then I'd haunt her as a ghost.

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.
