Don't Ruin A Good Thing Lyrics

I'm leaving tomorrow
Don't know when I'll be back again
Seems like I'm not wanted here anymore
Time for me to move on

I'm going away
I cannot stay here with you
I'm going away
I cannot stay here with you

Every time I turn around, I see your face
Now, every time I see your face, I want to smile
But I know they don't want me here
I have to move on

I'm going away
I cannot stay here with you
I'm going away
I cannot stay here with you

I'm going away
I cannot stay here with you
I'm going away
I cannot stay here with you

But when you say "I love you, don't go"
I know that a part of me breaks down inside
It tells me, here is where I belong
Don't ruin a good thing

I'm going away
I cannot stay here with you
I'm going away
I cannot stay here with you

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.
