How Things Are Lyrics

The way I fall to you
To stay silent no more
Anyone with a clue
Wouldn't do as I've done
But the fear that you know
Is the fear you will come to love

I want to stay
I want to go
I'm so afraid
To be alone

Alright, it's time for the truth
My love means more than I ever will
Anyone this confused
Needs someone to show them the way to
If by chance
Find it strange to forgive myself

I want it all
I want nothing
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid

I want to stay
I want to go
I'm so afraid
To be alone

Is this how all my life is supposed to be?
It's not enough
But too much for my heart to hold
Is this how all my life is supposed to be?
It's not enough
But too much for my heart to hold?

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.
