These Days Lyrics

Watching your face I can't believe I'm still here
Why did these days bleed like I said
Do you want to take a long hard look back to know if I feel right now it's everything
We're the life you dreamt such a perfect day
I can almost see outside this place that I left alone too long ago
I don't like the scars how they slip away
Now I'm taking everything you have
Why can't you go away
I can't stand your face right here now
Is this the only place I know I'll hate to find out
I could never think of this end
Do you want to tell me things I don't know before I start the burning inside
We're the life you dreamt such a perfect day
I can almost see outside this place that I left alone too long ago
I don't like the scars how they slip away
Now I'm taking everything you have
Why can't you go away
I can't stand your face right here now

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 is the story of my life. It's amazing how the words flow so perfectly with the music. Because of the "perfect days", I almost forget about my constant state of depression and the prison my mind builds itself. As far as "Why can't you go away?" goes, I don't think they are talking about a person in particular, but maybe something inside of themselves.... This is just my interpretation and i want to hear what other people think, so please post
