Operating Lyrics

So here we go again
just like I said I would
for you.

You end up all alone
in your broken throne
for two.

The mirrors in the sky
they show us how we lie
it's true

And all the people go,
all the people go.

I was only operating
I was always on your side
I was only operating
and I tried.

The chemistry is gone
just pour it out before
you go.

I wish you could believe
I meant it all for you
to know

The mirrors in the sky
they show us how we lie,
it's true

And all the people go,
all the people go...

I was only operating
I was always on your side
I was only operating
and I tried.
I was only operating,
never meant to make it wrong
I was only operating
now it's gone.

The chemistry is gone
just pour it out before
you go.

I wish you could believe
I meant it all for you
to know

The mirrors in the sky
They show us how we lie
It's true

And all the people go,
all the people go

I was only operating
I was always on your side
I was only operating
and I tried.

I was only operating,
never meant to make it wrong
I was only operating
now it's gone.

I Want You Back

So here we go again
just like I said I would
for you.

You end up all alone
in your broken throne
for two.

The mirrors in the sky
they show us how we lie
it's true

And all the people go,
all the people go.

I was only operating
I was always on your side
I was only operating
and I tried.

The chemistry is gone
just pour it out before
you go.

I wish you could believe
I meant it all for you
to know

The mirrors in the sky
they show us how we lie,
it's true

And all the people go,
all the people go...

I was only operating
I was always on your side
I was only operating
and I tried.
I was only operating,
never meant to make it wrong
I was only operating
now it's gone.

The chemistry is gone
just pour it out before
you go.

I wish you could believe
I meant it all for you
to know

The mirrors in the sky
They show us how we lie
It's true

And all the people go,
all the people go

I was only operating
I was always on your side
I was only operating
and I tried.

I was only operating,
never meant to make it wrong
I was only operating
now it's gone.

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.
