Sweet Alibis Lyrics

Can't take no mare of your sweet alibis
Yesterday's lies
Friendless goodbyes
I've had my fill of sweet alibis
When I look in your eyes
It's driving me crazy

Four in the morning and I hear you coming in
I'm trying to pretend
I don't know where you've been
How could the fire suddenly go bad
Or am I losing something I never had

Each night I lay so cold in your arms
Telling myself
You still love me
And every day gets harder to hide
Something has died
And it's driving me crazy
Oh, driving me crazy
Oh, driving me crazy
And though I know I'd be better alone
I just can't let go
Of the best love I've known
And could I live without your sweet alibis
Don't look in my eyes
You're driving me crazy
Oh, driving me crazy
Oh, driving me crazy

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.
