Sophie Lyrics

You were kind and welcoming
On the slopes of La Bartolina
You can take all of your love out on me
Sophie

You always loved Charlie best
You never knew how each night I wept
But I'll feast upon the crumbs he's left
Sophie

And I can't forgive myself
Oh, I can't forgive myself

You would hide yourself in a shroud
As your hair starting falling out
When you took off your dressing gown
Sophie

Your mother was dressed in black
With a lock of your hair in her hands
And I knew there was no turning back
Sophie

And I can't forgive myself
No, I can't forgive myself
I can't forgive myself
No, I can't forgive myself
Sophie
Sophie

Didn't know when I started running
I was running for my life
Didn't know when I started running
I'd be running my whole life
Didn't know when I started running
I was running for my life
Didn't know when I started running
I'd be running my whole life
I didn't know when I started running
I was running for my life
I didn't know when I started running
I'd be running my whole life

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.

Sucha a beautiful song. Iguess the girl he loved is now dead and he's missing her. What is he running from ? Sadness ?

I love this song. It sounds to me like he loved a girl who didn't love him back (clearly, she always loved Charlie best) but despite this he was still racked with desire for her. Later on in the song it sounds like he finds out she's got cancer- where her hair is falling out and she takes off her dressing gown (maybe what he saw was her body dying of cancer) and her mother wears black and has some of her hair. After she died he started running and he knows he'll always be running from his pain and love for her.
