Unwritten. Lyrics

these girls sneer like their fathers.
these girls ache like their moms.
these girls curse like their brothers.
these girls make earth worth living on.
what are we doing? ...and should we do it again?
i hope you find love.
what we you doing? must i repeat it again?
i hope you find love in this or the next life.
this boy lives with mother.
this boy, love's like a game.
this boy curses his brothers.
this boy hopes they feel the same.
what are we doing? ...and should we do it again?
you say 'define love.'
what are we doing? must i repeat it again?
i hope you find you find love in this or the next life.
so many stories left unwritten. girls and boy.
so many stories yet to write. girls and boy.

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.
