I Used to Pray for the Heavens to Fall Lyrics

Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on

No nobody's called here in days
And no one ever calls these days
Looking out at the city lights
Looking down on the streets tonight
Oh no, it's not safe.
It's not safe
It's not safe
It's not safe

I used to pray for the heavens to fall
I used to pray for the heavens to fall
I used to pray for the heavens to fall
Now I never want this to end

See there's nothing that compares to
When I'm hole up in here with you
See there's nothing that compares to
When I'm hole up in here with you
When I'm hole up in here with you

Oh no it's not safe
It's not safe
It's not safe
It's not safe
It's not safe
It's not safe
It's not safe
For god's sake

It's not safe
It's not safe
It's not safe

Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on

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.
