Congratulations to Someone Lyrics

Congratulations to someone
Someone who's happy with you
I guess he did the right things
I was wise enough to do

Yes, congratulations to someone
Someone who's holding you now
You know I'll always love you
But I'll get along somehow

Now, didn't I kiss you often enough?
Didn't I hold you tight?
Why did you leave here by myself
Cryin' alone in the night, babe?

I thought you'd love me forever
Somehow it just couldn't be
Congratulations to someone
But I wish that someone was me

I thought you'd love me forever
Somehow it just couldn't be
Congratulations to someone
Oh, I wish that someone was me
Yes, I wish that someone was me

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.
