Lovely is Death Lyrics

Somewhere between reason and heart
A fever spread to tear us apart
Making two from one
Grieving future sons

Your war raged with the force of the eternal
My defence was to leave you and run
It's taking all my strength
To look you in the face

Lovely is death
Lovely is death
You took my breath
Lovely is death
Lovely is death
I took your breath
You took my breath
Lovely is death

Years and years of ups and downs
Kisses, fights, smiles and frowns
This could be the end
Were we better off as friends?

I think back on all our mistakes
And the way both of our hearts break
It's taking all my strength
To look you in the face

Lovely is death
Lovely is death
You took my breath
Lovely is death
Lovely is death
I took your breath
You took my breath
Lovely is death

Like the reed was trampled down
Like the king who gave his crown
What was lost is sometimes found
'Cause to love is to die
So the one that you love has life

Lovely is death
Lovely is death
You took my breath
Lovely is death
Lovely is death
I took your breath
You took my breath
Lovely is death

Burning Like Cigarettes

Somewhere between reason and heart
A fever spread to tear us apart
Making two from one
Grieving future sons

Your war raged with the force of the eternal
My defence was to leave you and run
It's taking all my strength
To look you in the face

Lovely is death
Lovely is death
You took my breath
Lovely is death
Lovely is death
I took your breath
You took my breath
Lovely is death

Years and years of ups and downs
Kisses, fights, smiles and frowns
This could be the end
Were we better off as friends?

I think back on all our mistakes
And the way both of our hearts break
It's taking all my strength
To look you in the face

Lovely is death
Lovely is death
You took my breath
Lovely is death
Lovely is death
I took your breath
You took my breath
Lovely is death

Like the reed was trampled down
Like the king who gave his crown
What was lost is sometimes found
'Cause to love is to die
So the one that you love has life

Lovely is death
Lovely is death
You took my breath
Lovely is death
Lovely is death
I took your breath
You took my breath
Lovely is death

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.
