How Might I Live? Lyrics

How might I live to betray you?
How might I live to see the day?
How might I live to say you're not the one I love?
How might I find the words to say?

Down in my home, Louisiana
Down my home where I stay
Got to find the words to say you're not the one I love
How might I live to see the day?

But I can't, so I'm rolling on
Call if you've heard other songs
But I can't, so I'm rolling on
How might I live to see the day?

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.

This is a pretty straightforward song. It's about that moment when you realize you've fallen out of love with a person, yet you still care enough to not want to hurt him/her.

A beautiful song, and especially cool because it was written and sung by bassist Alex Bleeker.
