Won´t Be The First Time Lyrics

You're moving up and I'm moving out. You're growing up and I'm growing sideways. Don't want to see who you used to see or be who you used to be. I guess you're out-growing me. We both know that you're going places, and I'm here with the same tired faces. Our old haunts are still mine. If I only kill time, I guess you're out-growing me. Never could keep up with you. Never felt like I needed to. And the worst part of all of it's knowing that you're proud of this. Yeah, you're out-growing me. Won't be the first time you leave me in the dust. Won't be the last time you leave me in the dust.

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.

This song's awesome. Beautiful melodies, catchy guitar, and lyrics that can only have been prescribed to my current situation with my boyfriend. Yeah, boofuckinghoo.
