All We've Lost Lyrics

All we've lost. Is so much more. I can't believe all the things I see. So many people strung out on vanity. A lust for something more. So much more than we're given. Now it's too late. We made our mistakes. Can't we change the way we're living? I don't know why. We try and try to be something more than we are not. No matter how we lie. We'll never mask what's inside. Will you be left standing? can you carry on this charade? It's all we've lost.

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.

i CANNOT believe no one has commented on this song yet! this is a great song. the first song heard by me of stretch armstrong. it's pretty much about how people are given certain things in life, and most of us take advantage of it and want more and more and more constantly all they do is want ALL THE TIME and it's saying we are trying so hard to be something we aren't (which is SO true). and no matter what, we can't cover up what's on the inside of us because it all comes out sooner or later. who will really be left in the end if so many people try so hard to be someone else...who will be that last person standing when everyone else falls because of all we've lost(which is so much more than what we think it is..we will finally realize that one of these days..)
