Don't Throw It All Away Lyrics

(G. Benson/D. Mindel)

Here we go
Breaking up what we have built
Leaving out all the things that we have felt
Where was I, where was I before you came
From the first time that I saw you
I thought

Maybe I
Maybe I did something wrong
How I tried
But the words won't fit the song
Found the door
But I could not find the key
From the first time that I saw you
I thought that you may be

So don't throw it all away
I don't wanna be the one who's gonna have to beg you stay
I don't wanna be the one to change your mind
One more time
Please stay
Don't throw it all away

Though it seems
That I just take it out on you
Don't you know
Only you can get me through
Found the door
Now I know that you're the key
From the first time that I saw you
I knew that you may be

So don't throw it all away
I don't wanna be the one who's gonna have to beg you stay
I don't wanna be the one to change your mind
One more time
Please stay
Don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Please stay

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.
