I Can't Keep You in Love With Me Lyrics

It must have been an awful thing that someone did to you
That built the wall around your heart that I can't break through
I can't erase I can't replace the bitter for the sweet
For I can't find my way behind your wall of memories
If you want me why I can't keep you in love with me
You say you're mine and I'm not blind I know you want to be
And when you're holding me no sweeter love could ever be
But when I'm gone somehow I can't keep you in love with me
[ steel ]
The worst mistake that you could make the surest way to lose
Would be to listen and believe the lies they tell to you
There is a way you can repay the one who let you down
Let me repair your broken heart don't leave it on the ground
If you want me why I can't...

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.
