I Thought I'd Heard It All Lyrics

I heard you cry yourself to sleep and wake up in the night and walk the floor
And I heard you try to tell me something just as I was running out the door
And I heard you say I love you so many times I can't recall
But until I heard you tellin' me goodbye I thought I'd heard it all
Oh I haven't heard the fortress that I'd built around my ego fall apart
That self destructing unmistaken crying of my own broken heart

And I heard you whisper little things that no one else on earth was meant to hear
And I can't believe it's possible your whispering in someone else's ear
Until tonight I didn't know how far a grown man could crawl
Oh until I heard me begging you I thought I'd heard it all
Oh I haven't heard the fortress

No I haven't heard that little voice inside me screaming fool what have you done
As my tears start to fall
And I realize the worst is yet to come well I thought I'd heard it all
Oh I realize the worst is yet to come and I thought I'd heard it all

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.
