My Creator Lyrics

What kind of man, what could I be?
Afraid of everyone I meet
Lie forever, afterthought
Some are men
And some are not

And love [???]
What could I stand
If there's my [???]
Was there your land
Lie[?] forever future [???]
But here I stay and here I am

And who but you?
What could I know?
To follow with me far below.
My protect and servitude
And crippling dependency

What kind of woman would I be
If I refuse what's asked of me?
Some lines can turn you [???] [???] [???]
Some names will never be forgot.
My body can, but I cannot
I'm sorry, mommy
I cannot.

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.

What kind of man, what could I be? Afraid of everyone I meet Lie forever, afterthought Some are men And some are not

And what to feel? What could I stand? If here's my land Was that your land? Lie forever, future plans But here I stay and here I am

And who but you? What could I know? To follow with me far below My pretense and severity And crippling dependency

What kind of woman would I be If I refuse what's asked of me? Some lines can turn you, others rot Some names will never be forgot My body can, but I cannot I'm sorry, mommy I cannot
