Her Face Was A Study In Martyred Innocence Lyrics

I’m sorry is never enough…I drifted into myself and rested her thoughts upon each face turned pale. She resented those lighthearted jokes so I stole another minute…moments as long as night filled the void. She’ll never know, I’ll keep quiet this time. How can those eyes that rest so lightly see so deeply? I try to show her but three words come out as two…and I fail…I always fail when there’s nothing I can do. Another passing day with one single wish. That maybe I’ll make her smile. Does she want to know? I’ll keep quiet this time. I guess I couldn’t quite live up to what you were expecting.

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.
