Live Forever Lyrics

Dreadful mirror, peering back at me now
I see the cracks and creases on me
The hand of doom rests upon me
All my stories, all my family heirlooms
Who will steal them when I cease
Will anybody here remember me?
I want to live forever!
Every fountain, every fortune teller
Buying my only incantation
To cure me of my cancellation
Then like magic, unlike any morning
I awake to realize
I haven't aged forty years have passed me by
I want to live forever!
Spiteful decades
Cursed centuries
Every lover
Every friend
Goes away in the end
Got my wishes, got my little blessings
Got my demons, haunting me
Got father time here taunting me 'cause
I don't want to live forever!

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.
