I Will Lyrics

I will take good care of you
I will take good care of you
Everything you feel is good
If you would only let you
I will wash your hair at night
And dry it off with care
I will see your body bare
And still I will live here

So stay with me
Hold my hand
There’s no need
To be brave

And all the quiet nights you bear
Seal them up with care
No one needs to know they’re there
For I will hold them for you

‘Cause all I ever wanted is here
All I ever wanted
All I want is
Always you
It’s always you

And we’re not out of the tunnel
I bet you though there's an end

Stay with me
Hold my hand
There's no need
To be brave

And while you sleep
I'll be scared
So by the time you wake
I'll be brave
I'll be brave
I'll be brave

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.

There is no "you" in this song. Mitski wrote this to herself, saying that the lyrics are all the things she wishes someone would say to her. When performing this live she says "I hope you hear something you want to hear in this song".

Mitski says this is a love song to herself until she finds someone who can say that to her. I’m gonna go cry
