When You're Not There Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a pretty thing there to hold your head
It's like the sanity is hanging on a thread
The flesh is cold and needs young nails
And the look you give, it never fails

[Chorus]
I love the way you hurt me
I love that you don't care
My love is dark and twisted
And I scream when you're not there
[Verse 2]
It's the interesting way, it fills my brain
It's been beneath my eyes it's been never the same
I love it when you're heavy and crack a smile
The best is when you make it last a while
Last it a while

[Chorus]
I love the way you hurt me
I love that you don't care
My love is dark and twisted
And I scream when you're not there

[Bridge]
Can't seem to get away
This ghost I'll never find
It haunts me 'til this day
I can't get back my mind

[Chorus]
I love the way you hurt me
I love that you don't care
My love is dark and twisted
And I scream when you're not there

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.
