You, My Everything Lyrics

Could have given me something
You my everything
You left me kneeling
I was one of those people
You my everything
For what its worth
For what its worth
For what its worth

You were my backbone when
My body ached with weariness
You were my hometown when
My heart was filled with loneliness
Just as the dark was rising
I heard you close the door again
And just as the light turns off
I know who I dream of

Could have given me something
You my everything
You left me kneeling
I was one of those people
You my everything
You my everything
You my everythimg

You are my only hope
The truth that dealt the consequence
I know you don't feel the same
You're sensible and it doesn't make sense
I know I'm gonna weep my eyes out
You know I'm gonna try much harder
But it isn't the shit in my head
Holding me under this time

Could have given me something
You my everything
You left me kneeling
Ahhhhh
And I was one of those people
You my everything
You my everything
You my everythimg

You my everything x6

Could have given me something
You my everything
You left me kneeling
I was one of those people
You my everything
You my everything
You my everythimg

You left me kneeling
I was one of those people 
You my everything

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.

It's about being in love with a perfect human being, who is everything to you, but is too cold and distant to return your feelings in the same amount
