Words Before You Leave Lyrics

Cross me, possess me
Cause failure is my name
Guard me, protect me
And out of the dark comes the pain
Trust me, inhale me
Rejection is the game
Drown me, escape me
And out of the dark we arise

Father come guide me
To heaven high above
Mother don't blind me
In darkness I once rose

I pray for you the words before you leave
Someone will pray for you in worlds of no believe
I pray for you the words impure to speak

Hate me, forsake me
For certain is my fall
Still me, mislead me
And out of the cold we arise

Father, come hide me
From heaven high above
One day you'll find me
In paradise unborn

I pray for you the words before you leave
Someone will pray for you in worlds of no believe
I pray for you the words impure to speak

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.
