Conduct Lyrics

Now it's too late
I can see that we should not be together

Now it's too late
We've come too far and we should not be together

Destructive,
Destructive,
Not conductive
Can't you see where we went wrong?

Now it's too late
I can see that we
Should not be together

Take back my life
Take back my heart
I know I can hold it together

Give back my life
Give back my heart
I know we can hold us together

Enlightening
Enlightening
When we're not fighting,
We're not fighting
Can't you see we should get along?

It's not too late,
I can see I know
We can hold it together

When we get along,
We're really strong
We're really strong

When we get along,
We're really strong
We're really strong

Conduct yourself
Conduct yourself
Conduct yourself
Conduct yourself

Conduct yourself
(when we get along)
Conduct yourself
Conduct yourself
(We're really strong,
We're really strong)
Conduct yourself

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 wonder if this song is really about Dolores & Noel, given the most recent news which cast very dark clouds over the band's future.

Maybe they realized some time ago that they shouldn't go on together... as The Cranberries.
