I Don't Know Why Lyrics

I don't know why, was getting so good with us,
I don't know why, was getting so good with us,
I don't know why, was getting so good,
Was getting so good with us.

I don't know why, was so good with us.

The room's so empty, the room's empty without you,
My body's so empty, the world's so empty without you.

I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I don't know why, 'twas so good with us.

You left me, you left me, you left me without words,
You left me, you left me, you left me without words,
You left me, you left me, you left me without words.

You bastards!
Hate us! hate me! we had ev'rything 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.
