Boy Lyrics

i’ve been telling them
i will learn to love anyone else
but i only love my bed and myself
and my medicine

i started lying again
to my family and my best friend
i feel good for a week and then it ends
and the worries expand again

i thought he’s alright
thought that he’s fine
till he cried

all of my lies fill up my nights
i know that’s not alright
nobody’s like hey
is that boy okay
nobody’s like hi
is that boy alright
or don’t you wanna cry

i took my stuff and left
to a girl that i just met
i thought that i could handle that
and he just snuck out of the chat

and lack oxygen
depending on his friends
perhaps he should stop drinking
until i start again

i thought i’m alright
thought that i’m fine
til i cried

all of my nights fill up my lies
i thought that i’ll be fine
everyone’s like hey
boy are you okay
everyone’s like hi
boy are you alright
or don’t you wanna cry

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.
