Only the Strong Survive Lyrics

I wish you coulda hung around
Lord I wish you coulda stayed
It would have been a different sound
A strange song that I might have played
And it goes like this
Not something that we miss
But nobody feels it in their bones
Someday soon you've gonna be leavin' the room
But you will not be alone

Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive

You sald it was electricity
Running through you and me
You kept the door open friend
And made the music blend together

Whether of not you see
The end of the tunnel and the light
I don't care if you think it's wrong
I'm gonna make it right

Only the strong survive
Only the strong can keep alive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong can keep alive

Only the strong (the strong),
Only the strong (the strong),
Only the strong survive (x2)

Only the strong survive
Only the strong can keep alive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong can keep alive (x2)

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.
