Back to Hannalei Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Family
A word that meant so much to me
This world is one that's taken everything too late
The road split open to swallow me
Hoping you'd follow when I take the lead
Am I the child who lost his way?
I can't let go of all this hate

[Chorus]
A broken home
Heaven is lost and we are nothing
Please, bring me back to brighter days
I can't help but be myself
Sorry if I'm nothing but a memory
God, if you're real, take me back to Hannalei

[Verse 2]
Out past the break inside the undertow
I marvel in the life down below
I've worn this mask long enough
And we're past the point of hellos
It's time I sing to those who relate
Let go of hate

[Chorus 2]
A broken home
Heaven is lost but angels will sing
Your path will lead to brighter days
I can't help but be myself
Sorry that I'm nothing but a memory
If you're up there, know I'm in a better place

[Chorus]
A broken home
Heaven is lost and we are nothing
Please, bring me back to brighter days
I can't help but be myself
Sorry if I'm nothing but a memory
God, if you're real, take me back to Hannalei

Sorry if I'm nothing but a memory

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.
