Cherry Tree Lyrics

You were standing under cherry trees
Now a tree trunk keeps me company
It won't answer but he sure can shake
I'll wear your trouble whatever you make

So fast, right now
I wear your rings of whatever you make

I don't look back
I don't look back
Why, why would you?
I don't look back
I don't look back
Why, why would you?

What you're thinking, you are never sure
There's a force there that you don't even know
You were making sweet fun of me, yes
Now his posters in the station looking back at me

So fast, right now
Yet his posters in the station looking back at me

I don't look back
I don't look back
Why, why would you?
I don't look back
I don't look back
Why, why would you?

You were standing under cherry trees
Now a tree trunk keeps me company
It won't answer but he sure can shake
I'll wear your trouble whatever you make

I don't look back
I don't look back
Why, why would you?
I don't look back
I don't look back
Why, why would you?

I don't look back
I don't look back
Why, why would you?
I don't look back
I don't look back
Why, why would you?

I don't look back
I don't look back
Why, why would you?
I don't look back
I won't look back
Why, why would 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.
