If Then Lyrics

If you never lose nothing
If you never really lose nothing
Then you never lose

If never tried to quit
Holding on to what will make you sick
Then you never quit

I'd rather fail every time
Then to know I'd never tried
Never lived, never died
Just for an easy life, life, life.

If you never love someone
If you never really love someone
Then you never love

If you never want to feel
Anything that ever seems too real
Then you never feel

I'd rather fail every time
Then to know I'd never tried
Never lived, never died
Just for an easy life, life, life.

I'd rather fail every time
Then to know I've never tried
Never lived, never died
Just for an easy life, life, life.
Life, life, life.

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.
