Q&A

Fifth in Line to the Throne Lyrics

I gave you a regal name
Cause you treat me like a queen
But like a queen I don't know when I'll be slain

Now, I'm fifth in line to the throne
How am I gonna tell my king
That I don't trust his throne, anymore

If you want me to leave, then I'll go
If you want me to stay, let it show
Do you want me to leave, let me know
Just let me know

I have seen your deepest flaws
I'm ashamed to say they made me want you more
But I was in awe

If you want me to leave, then I'll go
Do you want me to stay, let it show
If you want me to leave, let me know
Just let me know

If you want me to leave, then I'll go
If you want me to stay, let it show
If you want me to leave, let me know
Just let me know
Let me know
Let me go

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'm taking this in almost literal sense that she is in love with a player who has a throng of women apart from her. She loves him but she doesn’t trust him because she’s never sure of when he’ll let her go for good. He's there and he disappears, then he's back again. She’s seen the worst of him but it only made her love him more.

This is exactly what my life’s about right now.
