Siren Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel the weight of many worlds on my shoulders
Live the broken dreams of all the others
Please don't pull me down, I think I'm drownin'
This is not my burden to carry

[Refrain]
Girl, let him go, let him go
Wash away the dirt he covered you in
Girl, I should know, I should know
When he sails away, it's for your own good

[Chorus]
When the sirens call, get ready for the fall
When the sirens call, you're gonna lose it all
When the sirens call
When the sirens call

[Verse 2]
I feel the weight of many worlds on my shoulders
Lay your dreams and fragile things down on me
Please don't pull me down, I think I'm drownin'
I can't keep you safe when they come for me

[Chorus]
When the sirens call, get ready for the fall
When the sirens call, you're gonna lose it all
When the sirens call
When the sirens call

[Refrain]
Girl, let him go, let him go
Wash away the dirt he covered you in
Girl, I should know, I should know
When he sails away, it's for your own good
When he sails away, it's for your own good

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.
