Breathless Lyrics

how could I be happy on a day like today
when i can't even breathe
i should put myself away and run
how could i feel lucky gettin' what i just received
took it in the ass
all that gravel and broken glass
those are scars that last
does this make it over? i know.
come down, breathless heather -- i know
soggy little nothings, that's all they really are
rotted too long in there
better give them all some air
they're just lies
i have told a couple
now that's a lie right there, i've told so many more
but i'm not keeping score
god, i love your smile
does this make it over? i know.
come down, breathless heather -- i know

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.
