It's Hard to Believe It's True Lyrics

It's hard to believe we are through, dear
Still you keep a-sayin' it ain't so
Maybe because I need you
Much more than you know

I'm sorry to see you go and leave me
It hurts me to know we must part
It's only because I love you
And you're so close to my heart

But if you go away, I'm sorry to say
But I guess it's okay
There may come a day
You might or you may
Become the same old way

Oh, I try to be gay to forgive you
Same as I was at the start
I'll play the part of a hero
But gee, what a blow to my heart, yes, yes

If you go away, I'm sorry to say
But I guess it's okay
There may come a day
You might or you may
Become the same old way

Oh, I try to be gay to forgive you
Same as I was at the start
I'll play the part of a hero
But gee, what a blow to my heart
Oh, gee, what a blow to my heart

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.
