Maybe this could be the kind of one
Where I sit on the words
Or talking through each style
Everything is overheard
See everything I take upon loses worth
Well now that you're not the one that I thought you were
And it hurts that I'm done

Now I don't believe in nothing
Avoiding night, tell me you know

Maybe I could be this lonely guy
That'll sing on a song
Another tease will come along
With everything I don't want
And you won't see me
Or pass with another one

I I cannot dream this is enough when you're gone
Only to stomach a night without eating at all
Everyone's coming but now this will all be yours
Breathe, this is love without love without love without love without love without love
Breathe, this is love without love without love without love without love without love
Breathe, this is love without love without love without love without love without love
Breathe, this is love without love without love without love without love without love

Love, what've you done with my tongue?
I open my mouth but you hear me wrong
Love, what've you done with my tongue?
I open my mouth but you steer me wrong

I'm walking through each smile
Everything is over turned
See everything that dies
It takes a small piece to rust
Well now the stones been thrown
The trust is dust

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.

The physical pain of loneliness, where you actually feel like you're rotting from the inside and there's this one person colonizing your every thought. The overwhelming feeling of emptiness when you realize this is love without love without love.
