Coward's Song Lyrics

I've got to break my young girl's heart
I don't see it any other way
Well i'll leave in what i'm wearing
There can't be any further delay
Well I promised that girl of mine
That marriage would be so sweet and fine
And now i'm going to turn my back away

So I'm running
Yeah I'm catching the next train
If you see her can you tell her
That she'll find a better fella
Well i'm just too scared to say it to her face

Well I'm sure fond of you girl
But I can't go and settle down
Well a man can settle
But a boy's got to look around
Can't spend my time wondering
About everything that might have been
What other kind of girl I might have found

So I'm running
Yeah I'm catching the next train
If you see her can you tell her
That she'll find a better fella
Well i'm just too scared to say it to her face

Well you might say that I'm a coward
For refusing to commit
But when you're in love you know it
And I know that this ain't it!

So...

If you see her can you tell her
She'll find a better feller
I'm just too scared to say it to her face

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.
