Swear Lyrics

I could bite my tongue and cut it in two
No more words four letters long for you to undo

I could cancel the profane and the parts lovers love most
Just erase them from the page, they'll be words we'll never know

I'd remove my heart and give it to you
Lock my lip and kill my spark, you can have that too

I could let myself be saved from the syllables you dread
Those sequences of shapes that'll put you in a sweat

I swear to never not let you down,
I swear to never not mean it
I swear to never not make a sound
I swear to never not scream it I swear

You could turn your head and put me out of view
but you need me to perfect the part I play for you

I could cancel the profane and the parts lovers love most
Just erase them from the page, they'll be words we'll never know

I swear to never not let you down,
I swear to never not mean it
I swear to never not make a sound
I swear to never not scream it I swear
to never not let you down,
I swear to never not mean it
I swear to never not make a sound
I swear I swear...

A Song To Fall In Love To

I could bite my tongue and cut it in two 
No more words four letters long for you to undo

I could cancel the profane and the parts lovers love most 
Just erase them from the page, they'll be words we'll never know

I'd remove my heart and give it to you 
Lock my lip and kill my spark, you can have that too

I could let myself be saved from the syllables you dread 
Those sequences of shapes that'll put you in a sweat

I swear to never not let you down, 
I swear to never not mean it 
I swear to never not make a sound 
I swear to never not scream it I swear

You could turn your head and put me out of view 
but you need me to perfect the part I play for you

I could cancel the profane and the parts lovers love most 
Just erase them from the page, they'll be words we'll never know

I swear to never not let you down, 
I swear to never not mean it 
I swear to never not make a sound 
I swear to never not scream it I swear 
to never not let you down, 
I swear to never not mean it 
I swear to never not make a sound 
I swear I swear...

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.
