Lover Lyrics

Lover, didn’t think we’d say goodbye
Didn’t mean to make you cry again
Oh lover, could it be the reason why
I left you there?
I was so messed up inside

Now this is the hardest part
We’ll have to start all over
And now things that we used to see
Were just temporary illusions

Well lover, you need to let me know
Stop putting on a show
If it’s over then everything must go
Don’t keep me hanging on
Don’t keep me hanging on

Maybe it was obvious
And you knew it from the start
Oh but some things are just too hard
to say
Well don’t walk away from me
Stay and talk to me
Say it to my face, don’t turn away

So how is this meant to be
If we’re separately still broken?
And now that everything’s animal
We’re so childish and unspoken

Well lover, you need to let me know
Stop putting on a show
If it’s over then everything must go
Don’t keep me hanging on
Don’t keep me hanging on

Oh, you see lover
You need to let me know
Stop putting on a show
And if it’s over
You need to let me go
Please let me go now

Lover, didn’t think we’d say goodbye
Didn’t mean to make you cry again

A Day In Verona

Lover, didn’t think we’d say goodbye
Didn’t mean to make you cry again
Oh lover, could it be the reason why
I left you there?
I was so messed up inside

Now this is the hardest part
We’ll have to start all over
And now things that we used to see
Were just temporary illusions

Well lover, you need to let me know
Stop putting on a show
If it’s over then everything must go
Don’t keep me hanging on
Don’t keep me hanging on

Maybe it was obvious
And you knew it from the start
Oh but some things are just too hard
to say
Well don’t walk away from me
Stay and talk to me
Say it to my face, don’t turn away

So how is this meant to be
If we’re separately still broken?
And now that everything’s animal
We’re so childish and unspoken

Well lover, you need to let me know
Stop putting on a show
If it’s over then everything must go
Don’t keep me hanging on
Don’t keep me hanging on

Oh, you see lover
You need to let me know
Stop putting on a show
And if it’s over
You need to let me go
Please let me go now

Lover, didn’t think we’d say goodbye
Didn’t mean to make you cry again

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.
