Killing Time Lyrics

Bet you're gonna cry when I'm gone
Bet you're gonna cry when I'm gone
What a time to be wrong
What a time to be wrong

I know I'm gonna be missed
Yeah I know I'm gonna be missed
What a way to be tricked
What a waste of a trip
Never thought the day would've come
When I couldn't get up and run
See you've given me gold and it weighed down my soul
But can I see if tomorrow will
Turn back to yesterday
Of have I gone too far to turn it back all the way?
How can it take so long?
I know that I'm killing time all alone but it's dyin' too slow
Why did it take so long?
I know that I'm just killing time all alone but it's dyin' too slow

Bet you're gonna cry when I'm gone
Bet you're gonna cry when I'm gone
What a time to be wrong
What a time to be wrong

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.
