Predicament Lyrics

I've got hope but I can't talk about the future
I've got desire but I can't exercise it on my own
Time won't solve this predicament
Time won't solve this predicament
I've got pain but to tell it hurts the one I love
I've got strength but it attenuates every day
Time won't solve this predicament
Time won't solve this predicament
Troubles never go away
They just resurface on another day
Troubles never go away
They just resurface on another day
I've got heart but now it's weakened by an empty space
I've got soul but it's been soured by the bane of hate
Time won't solve this predicament
Time won't solve this predicament
Troubles never go away
They just resurface on another day
Troubles never go away
They just resurface on another day
Time won't solve this predicament

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.
