Say It's True Lyrics

Must we be just actors hitting marks?
Must just spotlights know us in the dark?
Must we live our lives out in the pages?
Must we play at lovers and friends
Before they haul us off the stage?

Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you
Are free and afraid like me.
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you aren’t getting prompts
And haven’t read ahead.

We were not given a reading list
So it’s not shocking that we have missed
Some things that should have be clearer
But I swear they’re references
They won’t happen again

Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you
Are free and afraid like me.
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you aren’t getting prompts
And haven’t read ahead

Don’t read the end
Don’t even try to guess

Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you
Are free and afraid like me.
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you aren’t getting prompt
And haven’t read ahead

Must we be just actors hitting marks?
Must just spotlights know us in the dark?
Must we live our lives out in the pages?
Must we play at lovers and friends
Before they haul us off the stage?
 
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you
Are free and afraid like me.
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you aren’t getting prompts
And haven’t read ahead.

We were not given a reading list
So it’s not shocking that we have missed
Some things that should have be clearer
But I swear they’re references
They won’t happen again
 
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you
Are free and afraid like me.
Oh say it’s true
That you are improvising.
Oh say it’s true
That you aren’t getting prompts
And haven’t read ahead
 
Don’t read the end
Don’t even try to guess

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.
