Some Will Pay (For What Others Pay to Avoid) Lyrics

What are you going to do?
The time has come and I have forgiven you
I don't know, I don't think so
Some will pay for what others pay to avoid
It's just a matter of time
Oh, how my memories press us together
And the dream is catching up
Some will pay for what others pay to avoid
According to these memories
I'm just mad about you
I'm just mad about you
Our jerky versions of The Dream
Made it all seem so true
Made it all seem so true
Because I was naked I was afraid
To have my feelings displayed
But now it's come to this
I will deliberately miss you
Some will pay for what others pay to avoid
And I gave in to temptation
God forbid, God forbid
According to these memories
I'm just mad about you
I'm just mad about you
Our jerky versions of The Dream
Made it all seem so true
made it all seem so true
Rise up to me from the bottom of my heart
And come back to me
I gave into temptation, God forbid
It was simply the best thing I ever did
I gave in
I caved in

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.
