Are You Sure [#] Lyrics

Are you sure there's nothing you can do
To help someone worse off than you?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure it'll be a waste of time
To stop and let your love light shine?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure that it will be in vain
To show some love for your fellow man?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?
Think about it and be sure
Are you sure?

Are you sure that it's not your place
To help someone whose lost their way?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure it's not your concern
When you see a neighbor's home is burned?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure that I will still be down
When you've realized that you've been blind
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?
Think about it and be sure
Please, please, please be sure

Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?

Are you sure there's nothing you can do
To help someone worse off than you?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure it'll be a waste of time
To stop and let your love light shine?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure that it will be in vain
To show some love for your fellow man?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?

Are you sure that it's not your place
To help someone whose lost their way?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure it's not your concern
When you see a neighbor's home is burned?
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure that I will still be down
When you've realized that you've been blind
Think before you answer, are you sure?
Are you sure?

Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?
Think about it and be sure
Please, please, please be sure

Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?
Are you sure? Are you sure?

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.
