It'll Take Awhile [#175] Lyrics

Here I sit alone and broken hearted walk the floor all night since we parted
I'll get over you I don't know how or when it'll take awhile hold by can't last till then
Yes it'll take awhile to shake the pain of losing you
Someone will take your place but I don't know who
The world outside holds nothing now for me it'll take awhile to shake your memory
[ guitar ]
So I'll do my best to forget you as I think about the things we used to do
And I'll forget you I don't know how or when it'll take awhile if I'll hold out till then
Yes it'll take awhile...

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.
