So In Love Lyrics

Talk to me, don't lie to me
Save your breath
Don't look at me
Don't smile at me
Just close your eyes
I was so impressed by you
I was running blind
I would fall for every trick
Every twist of mind
Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you
Don't say your prayers
Don't build your hopes
Just walk away
Don't phone me up
Don't call around
Don't waste your time
You were so in awe of me
You were so divine
You would do just anything
To still be mine
All the things you said to me
I was so obsessed (don't cry)
You were always talking, talking
God I did my best
Heaven is cold
Without any soul
It's hard to believe
I was so in love with you

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.

Take the airy production of John Hughes-era OMD, add the grimmest, most vicious lyrics ever penned by the group, and you have a masterpiece.

I always feared someone sang this song to me (not because I ever lied to the person I loved, but because that attitude of refusal is really a dagger in a person's heart), but in the end it turned to be me the one who sang it.

That awkward moment when you realize the person you fell in love with was not who you thought they were. And you're angry and embarrassed and hurt, but you stand up for yourself and move on.

What an agonizing break up song. The vocals are incredibly heartfelt and the bitter lyrics ("Don't phone me up", "Don't call around") perfectly capture the feelings when you realize your love has been lying to you.
