Have I Stayed Too Long [*] Lyrics

I think this party is going badly
Is there something wrong
I see faces looking sadly
Have I stayed too long

Even though I see me smile
That same scene and acting wild
Pretending that I really care
Smiling face is just a mask

Without love a kiss is nothing
Have I done something wrong
I look around and I can't find nothing
Have I stayed too long

Without beginning there ain't no end
Without a hope, you got no friends
Have I gone from loving you
To find out what's behind my tears

I got to get out of this place
I'm tired, tired of waiting
This phony place

I think this party is going badly
Is there something wrong
I see faces looking sadly
I guess I'm going home

Even though you see me smiling
That same scene and acting wild
Pretending that I really care
Smiling face is just a mask

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.
