For the Rest of My Life Lyrics

Look around. Do you see?
Everything is fading
Everything just fades away
Look around. Do you see?
Everyone looks lonely
But there's only you and me
Do you wonder how we came to be here?
Do you wonder if we could find us from here?
Look inside. Do you feel anything but bitter?
Anything but sad and lost?

Look inside. Do you dream of a time that's better?
Do you ever dream of me?
And my heart breaks when you cry in your sleep.
So I can't wait here hoping I'm something you'll keep.

I will love you. Miss you. All of my life.
I will need you. Want you. All of my life.
But I've lost you. Lost you. For the rest of my life.

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.
