If I Keep My Heart Out of Sight Lyrics

[Verse]
If i keep on talking now, i'll only start repeating myself and all i can say is
I love you, i love you, i love you, i love you
If i slip and tip my hand, i'm certain to scare you away, then what would i say?
I'd be hurting, i'm certain, i'd be uncool to let you know that you're the one
The fool who jumped the gun
Cause i've been advised by other guys you've left behind
Your good byes are somewhat unrefined
But if i play my role just right, tonight could be my lucky night and you could be mine
If i present it to you with a flower in the moonlight, shiny and new
Well, you couldn't say no tonight, if i keep my heart out of sight. If i play my role just right, tonight could be my lucky night and you could be mine
If i present it to you with a flower in the moonlight, shiny and new
Well, you couldn't say no tonight, if i keep my heart out of sight

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.
