Torn, Broken, Beautiful Lyrics

We kiss like we have razors in our mouths. Our love notes are eulogies. We simply mark graves and call them home. We have all the souvenirs of our failed lives. We are torn, broken, and beautiful. We pray for memory lapses, the strength to forgive and forget while we are speaking in absolutes, but still nothing has changed: and we are another young heart that beat too fast, too soon. (Do you regret anything?) We mapped it out, how this all should end, what song would be playing when we breathed our last breath. We will tell people our love died for our sins, knowing full well that we lived these lives. No one can take that from us. No matter what is said, we know that we truly lived.

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.
