Haven't You? Lyrics

There’s an angel waiting in the shadows
Behind that big black window watching over me
And now I’m able to waltz through violent nightmares
of killing sprees and bomb scares
To kiss you on the cheek
I thought I lost it all the day that I lost you.
It’s taken me until just now to find the truth
You’ve always been here haven’t you?
There’s a stranger inside of me named anger
He worked for me, but danger was your middle name
Now I’m able to waltz through violent nightmares
of shattered glass and road flares
to kiss you on the cheek
I thought I lost it all the day that I lost you
it’s taken me until just now to find the truth
You’ve always been here haven’t you?
I thought I lost it all the day that I lost you
It’s taken me until just now to find the truth
I thought I lost it all the day I lost you
it’s taken me until just now to find the truth
I thought that I lost it all the day that I lost you
it’s taken me until just now to find the truth
You‘ve always been here haven’t you?

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.

On the surface, it's clearly about loss (death, not a break up). And then you hear it from the horse's mouth in this YouTube video.

"...I wrote this song for my grandmother and it's for anyone here who's lost someone near and dear to 'em." --Matt Skiba
