We Hardly Knew You Lyrics

We now hold theses truths to be evident
That nothing is vaunted or prominent
We are sand in the hand of a loosely flung fist
That I trusted and got me in all firmament

How can we march so blissfully on?
Knowing everyone loved is on loan
How could you not march so blissfully on?
Knowing everyone loved is on loan

I now hold these truths to be diffident
That which you held dearly is clearly frequented by
Charlatans fumbling just like a debutants
Gripping and grinding like they depend on

How can you march so blissfully on?
Knowing everyone loved is on loan
How could you not march blissfully on?
Knowing everyone loved is on loan
You're not alone

Oh my head is on fire
Burning layers of paltry disguises
We are stringless beguilers
?? ??
Such privilege ?? ??

How can we march so blissfully on?
Knowing everyone loved is on loan
How could you not march so blissfully on?
Knowing everyone loved is on loan
You're not alone

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.
