Falling Lyrics

(Silent restraint)
Take comfort in the fall
In everything I gave you
Thank you, thank you all
I never quite forgave you (fire away)
We're made in simple forms
Taking cover in the way through
Falling to the floor
And begging me to stay true (loveless escape)
(Silent restraint)

How can I stay? (Not that I want to)
How can I stay? (Not that I want you)
How can I stay? (Not to get closer)
How can I stay? (Now that it's over)

(Silent restraint)
Take comfort in the fall
In everything I gave you
Thank you, thank you all
I never quite forgave you (fire away)
We're made in simple forms
Taking cover in the way through
Falling to the floor
And begging me to stay with you all the way home (loveless escape)
Home
(Silent restraint)
Home

How can I stay? (Not that I want to)
How can I stay? (Not that I want you)
How can I stay? (Not to get closer)
How can I stay? (Now that it's over)

How can I stay? (Not that I want to)
How can I stay? (Not that I want you)
How can I stay? (Not to get closer)
How can I stay? (Now that it's over)

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.
