Dying in Africa Lyrics

Dying in Africa
Someone I loved turned me down
I didn't feel my head touch the ground
Someone I loved said goodbye
I never knew someone could make me cry
Like this

I, I won't get over you
Even if they're crying in Africa
I, I can't get over you
Even if they're dying in Africa

Everything that you say
It will be held against you now
And everything that I did
Yes it depended on you

Love feels so sweet when you're rejected
Even if they're dying in Africa

I, I won't get over you
Even if they're crying in Africa
I, I can't get over you
Even if they're dying in Africa

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.
