15 Years Lyrics

It's time to leave this fuckin' place.
I wanted it my way now give me my space.
I screwed up this time, tell mom that I'm sorry.
Now that I'm gone, no that I'm gone.
Age 15: ran away.
Needed a place where I could stay.
I couldn't take what was going on.
Just forget that I am there and move it along.
It's time to leave this fuckin' place.
I wanted it my way now give me my space.
I screwed up this time, tell mom that I'm sorry.
Now that I'm gone, no that I'm gone.
I got no food and job, I'm barely making it now.
I can't go back because I just can't think how.
Will I die?
Will I survive?
This lighthouse is getting cold.
How am I alive?
It's time to leave this fuckin' place.
I wanted it my way now give me my space.
I screwed up this time, tell mom that I'm sorry.
Now that I'm gone, no that I'm gone.

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.
