Read the Lines Lyrics

i read the lines
you´ve left for me
i can´t believe... you´ve gone so far...
i can´t believe

i broke the rules
i know it well
i don´t understand myself
it´s hard to tell

i save the signs
i knew from the start
i had no answers to the questions
you could ask

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.

I think this song is about how people can change after a breakup.

When you read an email or letter sent by the one you love/d and can't believe what they are having the guts to say... How can they go so far? "I can't believe you've gone so far"

I'm going through this right now and my stomach turns every time I read the words in his email to me.
