Imitation of a Kiss Lyrics

This is an imitation of a kiss
An imitations, all it is
And when I kiss you
It may look like a kiss
Call it a kiss
This imitation of love
Itï¿½s an imitation of romance
All hollow gestures and demands
You get aggressive
So tired of routines
You go to extremes
This imitation of romance
Thereï¿½s a place I used go
Itï¿½s closed down, long ago
I lie down there, in your darkness
Watching rivers flow
Now itï¿½s an imitation, of a love
No ones fooling anyone
And though youï¿½re here now
Iï¿½m so far away
Letï¿½s call it a day
This imitation of a kiss
When it looks like
All is lost here
Something reappears
All my reasons, leave the room now
Leaving you, still here
This is an imitation of goodbye
I say itï¿½s over, all the time
Yet Iï¿½m still with you
Donï¿½t why it is
I canï¿½t resist
This imitation, of a kiss
I canï¿½t resist you kiss, your kiss
Imitation
Of a kiss

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.
