Promises Lyrics

you ignore me
so i pick my heart up off the floor again
thought that you should know
you and your promises
they use to be the ground below my feet
but one too many times those stupid promises
dissapear beneath me
cause ive been wrong
to believe that you and me
were always meant to be
somethings change
and time fades away
some things stay
like this broken heart youve made
you and me were never meant to be
all those tears
wash away the dust and all those years
have to break this heart of mine
you and your promises
they use to be the ground below my feet
but one too many times ive seen those promises
dissapear beneath me..

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.
