What Do You Do When Love Dies Lyrics

I wake up in the morning crying
I reach out for you, yeah
I make coffee for one now
Instead of for two
My days are so empty baby
There's nothing for me to do
And the night lost its meaning
The night i lost you
Help me baby
What do you when love dies?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind
What do you when love dies?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind
I run for the 1:10 uptown
The show starts at two
I'm surrounded by strangers
But I'm haunted by you
My life is without direction
Lost without you my love
The past is my shadow
My shadow is you
I ain't got nowhere to go
What do you do when love dies?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind
What do you do when love dies on you?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind, yes I am, yeah
Yeah, what do you do when love dies on you?
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind, yeah, yeah
Somebody help me, I'm losing my mind
The past is my shadow
My shadow is you
Baby Baby

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.
