Silly Song Lyrics

Here's a song. You can sing along too. For when I've gone away.
It's a silly tune. I wrote for you. You can sing it everyday.

I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you tonight
I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you behind.
I don't want to leave you tonight.

So if you're down and I'm not around. And the days seem far too long.
Well I'll be there, if you're ever scared, you can hear me sing along.

I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you tonight.
I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you behind.
I don't want to leave you tonight.

And I know it's hard.
But life's a bit like that.
When it pulls you down and stabs you in the back.
And I know it's hard.
But we'll get through this I know.

I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.

I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you tonight.
I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you tonight.

It's Not About You

Here's a song. You can sing along too. For when I've gone away.
It's a silly tune. I wrote for you. You can sing it everyday.

I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you tonight
I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you behind.
I don't want to leave you tonight.

So if you're down and I'm not around. And the days seem far too long.
Well I'll be there, if you're ever scared, you can hear me sing along.

I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you tonight.
I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you behind.
I don't want to leave you tonight.

And I know it's hard.
But life's a bit like that.
When it pulls you down and stabs you in the back.
And I know it's hard.
But we'll get through this I know.

I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.
I didn't know you'd be gone for so long.

I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you tonight.
I don't want to leave you. I don't want to leave you tonight.

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.
