The Stand Lyrics

We come to a fork in the road
Should I stay or should I go
You walk down the left one
Does that make it the right one?
So I'll follow this time
Once again the thought crosses my mind
This commitment's not so fine As our spirits divide
And the lies and the cries
And you just don¹t realize
What you had inside of me
My baby never gonna be my baby
Never gonna be
One day you'll realize I'm the man for you
There's no disguising
To late to reconcile you've said your piece
And now I'm leaving
We come to the valley below
What's to come baby I don't know?
Your traveling down that road
And I just cannot follow
My life bleeds hollow
Your destine to be dull
But what does that matter
It just don't matter anymore
If you want it you got it
If you want it you got yeah
If you want it you got it
If you want it you got yeah

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.

This song is about two people, they are in love, but one fails to realize it and walks away from the relationship without giving it a chance. A great song.
