All These Things Lyrics

i promise that i won't fall down. i promise that i won't skin my knee. like you promised you'd always be around. to take good care of me. and i remember. you standing behind that white picket fence with a white peaked face. trying hard to embrace my youth. before it escapes. before it's too late. clutching the fence she said. how have i hurt you. what have i done. did i desert you. or spite with my tongue. was i too eager. or love you too much. i love you too much. and now that i'm all grown. i'm feeling so alone. why have you brought me here. you say all these things i say. but it's not the same. i'm feeling so alone today. alone and numb. i'll ice my thoughts. i'll ice my mind for now. it's not your fault. you did what you could do. for this i will love you for always. you hold my heart and my tiny hand. thank you for all these things

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.

"was i too eager. or love you too much. i love you too much."

Perfectly phrased and sung. Simply amazing.. and Atticus has my belief on the meaning of this song.

at first i thought this was about his mom or something, but i think it's about a old girl friend. the part "and now that i'm all grown" is about how much he's changed and what he's gone through after they broke up. i dunno... that's just what i get out of it....
