Colony Lyrics

Together we killed the colony
We'll take away the heart in me
A looser grip, failed to notice it
Puling away when you reach for it

Cause I've been moving slowly since then
Take the call to break the pattern
We could find a reason to leave
But you will always have part of me

I held your hand and felt your skin
But I could not get used to it
Together we killed the colony
We'll take away the heart in me

Because I've been moving slowly since then
Take the call to break the pattern
We could find a reason to leave
But you will always have part of me

I've been moving slowly since then
Take the call to break the pattern
We could find a reason to leave
But you will always have part of me

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.

I think of this song as if she loved someone but didn't felt that their love was right, so they split up but then she loved him and it hurted her :/

It's a song about missing your chance:

A looser grip, failed to notice it; pulling away when you reach for it -and- I held your hand and felt your skin; But I could not get used to it:>>> I didn't realize how much I resisted your attempts to show me love because I'm so damaged. I now realize how much love you had for me..... and now it's too late.

I've been moving slowly since then:>>> I'm now heavy hearted and emotional.

Take the call to break the pattern: >>> Accept my apology; love me again. Don't miss out like I did.

We could find a reason to leave, But you will always have part of me:>>> Maybe we're both in two different places now.....but I love you, and I always will....
