Devon Lyrics

Oh my love, I'll wait
I have been waiting here all day

Oh my love, I am low
'Cos you are asking me to go
And I know I am holding onto dust
But my heart is telling me I'm right

Take my hand if you can
I can be your girl
You'll be my man
But you don't love me anymore
And I've never felt so broken up before
(I am well, I am well, I am well)

Ooh, baby darling
I will wait before
Ooh, baby darling
I will wait before

Ooh, long night
I will wait before
Ooh, every night
I will wait before, before

I die, I die, I die, I

Oh my love, I am low
'Cos you are asking me to go
And I know I am holding onto dust
But my heart is telling me I'm right

Take my hand if you can
I can be your girl
You'll be my man
But you don't love me anymore
And I've never felt so broken up before

Da da da da da da

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.

Claire's ex-boyfriend is Devon Welsh (aka Majical Cloudz). The lyrics don't mention any names, but from the title "Devon", it's definitely about him. It's so romantic that she wrote something like this for her ex-boyfriend.
