Soon or Never Lyrics

If ever I have seen the sunrise and known it's time for bed
If ever I have breathed in deeply
And felt like I was dead
And felt like I was dead
Then I have not been
I have not been in love

If ever I have seen your lips move and known you couldn't say
The words I think could make me love you
And heard them anyway
And heard them anyway
Then I have not been
I have not been in love

I rise as the sun goes down and I pray my true love and I find a way to each other soon or never

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.

The song juxtaposes love and pain and eventually equates their weight. Loving so deeply is to realize loss completely and know the immediacy if it’s nature. The rational conclusion is to never start loving at all; why would you love what you will lose? Therefore I hope I find my true love soon or maybe never.
