Cottonstar Lyrics

Bleeding for you
Fall for you
The sun will set on your black heart
The boat is leaving
Your place is not safe
The time has come to wipe the blood away

What would you do if the people that you brought into this
Could see everything inside
What would you say if the only friend that never deserved this
Could leave you with your hands tied

In time the wrath will set in

You've hit the bottom
You're crawling in sin
Now face the fears that you will not regret

What would you do if the people that you brought into this
Could see everything inside
What would you say if the only friend that never deserved this
Could leave you with your hands tied

Almost over
This picture is fading day by day
Mid-October
And she will fade away (she will fade)

If it's meant to be
Then it will be

What would you do if the people that you've brought into this
Could see everything inside
How could you do it with all you've had
We never deserved this
We'll leave you with your hands tied
We'll leave you with your hands tied

Nothing can change all the lies that you said to my face
Break your fall

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.
