Painted Eyes Lyrics

Elegant, you were born at night
Sewn by soft hands
Oh the softest hands
Born in solitude
Born of painted eyes
Painted Eyes
That always looked to the sky
Oh those eyes
Oh those eyes
They saw forever

How do you make forever
How can you know always
The value of your treasure
How can you see always

How do you make forever
How can you know always
The value of your treasure
How can you see always

Forever

Elegance made you live forever
May your renegade heart never fade
Your silhouette and the rest of your treasures
May your free spirit last, never fade
Oh those eyes
Oh those eyes
They saw forever
Forever

How do you make forever
How can you know always
The value of your treasure
How can you see always

How do you make forever
How can you know always
The value of your treasure
How can you see always

Forever

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.
