God Bless You Lyrics

We’re all told that when we die

We leave to a better place

And all I know is what you left

A love I can’t erase

All the same in love and war

Burn my name and ashes scorn

You left me with these broken lies

And I let you

Got no more time for your goodbyes

So god bless you

God bless you

Shed those faded memories

This is your curtain call

I’ve had enough of sympathy

It’s time to watch you fall

All the same in love and war

You left me with these broken lies

And I let you

Got no more time for your goodbyes

So god bless you

God bless you

You left me with these broken lies

And I let you

Got no more time for your goodbyes

So god bless you

You left me with these broken lies

And I let you

Got no more time for your goodbyes

So god bless you

God bless you

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.

This song is about saying goodbye and moving on with your life. Andy (BVB's lead singer) said in an interview that this is like a 'snotty send off.' We all meet people in our lives, and some pretend to be your friend until they show you their true colors. When that happens, the only thing you can do is really say 'okay, well, God bless you, do what you want in life but don't involve me in it' and then walk away. :)I love the song and the new album.

When I listned to it the first time, I thought it was suposed to be a mean good by to someone you no longer want in your life. I thought the "god bless you" was a way of saying fuck off for Andy because him being atheist. If someones says "God bless you" then an atheist might take it offensivly because not everyone has the same beliefs/religion.
