Q&A

1996 on Bevard Lyrics

It pays to be insane,
Indiana rain.
I let go.
And I made the same mistakes,
Sleeping in the flame.
I lost hope
Just to be alone.

Afraid I'll be my father and fade away.
We almost sound the same.
Afraid I'll be forgotten but I can't change.

I need to hear you say please don't look away.
I still want to let you let me in even when it ends
If you need to love me.
Love me patiently just until you see I'm giving up
And just to make sure I've wasted all doubt.
Just to make sure please wake me up now,
And what won't let me down is my fear.

Afraid I'll be my father and fade away.
We almost sound the same.
Afraid I'll be forgotten but I can't change.

I'm broken and it's hurting,
And all you say is love me too.
Don’t take it if you know it’s not enough,
Maybe I’ll be more tomorrow.

Afraid I'll be my father and fade away.
We almost sound the same.
Afraid I'll be forgotten but I can't change.

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.

"I've committed a lot of betrayal in my life. I've abandoned love, I've been young and careless. I was raised by my amazing mother, and I do the best I can, but I'm only human. I'll always have this fear that I’ll end up with regrets I can't fathom. The only thing I'm certain of in this song is the fear that I'll end up hurting someone so deeply that over a decade later, they're writing songs about how deeply they've been hurt. This song is pretty self-explanatory." - Bradley
