Had To Go Lyrics

oh there was silence thinly veiled as peace
then oh the lightening struck and it started a fire
oh we lost all patience things they kept on turning
When you take the bark off the tree and it's standing stark

Lately I'm feeling so alone
I packed up my bags and I left my home
and now everything's changed and I'm feeling alone
I got no one to blame cause I had to go

And it started raining and there was a flood
the water kept on rising higher we had to get above
I come to you open, organs on my sleeve
Won't you help me now
Help me find peace

Lately I'm feeling so alone
I packed up my bags and I left my home
and now everything's changed and I'm feeling alone
I got no one to blame cause I had to go

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.
