Lavender Lyrics

Turns out you can't break my broken heart
An ocean, I have never seen one drown
I thought I used up every hallelujah
So I left town

And please leave
Leave me alone for a while
I'll be building skin
Skin and bone for the child
We put on trial
We put on trial
We put on trial

Oops, I found you dead inside my pocket
Shock me like a finger in a socket
Your life will whisper what you need
I'm not scared to bleed

And please leave
Leave me alone for a while
I'll be building skin
Skin and bone for the child
We put on trial
We put on trial
We put on

I was stuck in an Edward Hopper painting
Asking you to paint me over
Paint me over
Paint me over

And who wants someone drowning in their head?
And who wants someone tied to their own bed?
Your life is just a mirror and it will concede
I'm not scared to bleed

Please leave me alone for a while
I'll be building skin
Skin and bone for the child
We put on trial
We put on trial
We put on trial

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.
