I'll Be The One You Want Someday Lyrics

I'm entering my own dark ages
Relapsing towards emptiness
My only friend is feeding off me
The weakness is starting to consume my body

My brain is speeding faster than my mouth can move
I’ll sit still and silently observe the room
All I can think about are things I should not do

I have a dream
And the dream is perfection
I have a dream
That lives so far away
I'd hold your hand but you do not want me
I'll be the one that you want someday

My brain is speeding faster than my mouth can move
I’ll sit still and silently observe the room
All I can think about are things I should not do

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.

Oh, wow. I can't believe I'm the first to comment on this. The meaning of Jessica's words seems very obvious to me. This is a song about an eating disorder (my guess is anorexia). She knows that she's killing herself, but it doesn't matter, because the disease is making the executive decisions for her. The worst part is, she doesn't know if she's happy about it or terrified. There is determination to continue listening to the sickness in her words, but there is also the presence of a voice which tells her that she is unhealthy.
