If by Chance Lyrics

It might just be too deep
We've turned your love into a hate
I can't wake you from this sleep
I can't lure you with this bait

And when you're all alone at night
I feel for you, I fight the fight
I need to know that where you go
Is real enough for me to know

And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?

It might just be too late
We've turned your heart into a stone
I can't save you from this fate
I can't help you be alone

And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?

Blood is thicker than water
That could be a bunch of lies
What makes me think I ought to
Hold reins on all the ties

And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?

And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?

All Through The Night

It might just be too deep
We've turned your love into a hate
I can't wake you from this sleep
I can't lure you with this bait

And when you're all alone at night
I feel for you, I fight the fight
I need to know that where you go
Is real enough for me to know

And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?

It might just be too late
We've turned your heart into a stone
I can't save you from this fate
I can't help you be alone

And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?

Blood is thicker than water
That could be a bunch of lies
What makes me think I ought to
Hold reins on all the ties

And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?

And if by chance, I'd drown for you
Would you believe, at last it's true
That all my soul was yours to take
Would you believe I wasn't fake?

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.
