Cover Your Own Lyrics

I never wanted a cover up
I only needed you here
I've lived in search of a place I belong
Where the cold rain will disappear

Is somebody out there?
Is somebody out there?

I wanna know
Why you left me
To cover your own
And forget me
Though I have the loneliest heartbeat
Longing for home
A place that will want me

I heard deep down in my darkest hour
Somebody's waiting for me
Until now, I'd thought it a waste of time
Filling holes left where you should be

There's somebody out there
And they're calling out
Maybe I should go out there

I wanna know
Why you left me
To cover your own
And forget me
Though I have the loneliest heartbeat
Longing for home
A place that will want me

I'm letting go of all the memories
I never made in my life with you
I'll let these walls come down in front of me
I've found a love, I've found a love
And there's something about it
There's something about it
There's something about it
There's something about the way it moves

I'll never know
Why you left me
To cover your own
And forget me
Though I had the loneliest heartbeat
I found a home
A Father to love me

To cover your own
And forget me
Though I had the loneliest heartbeat
I found a home
A Father to love me

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.
