It's Not The Caffeine, It's The Sugar Lyrics

I just met an old man, he said, "I've got all these years"
"I've nothing to show for it, but a bed of cardboard and my fears"
he says "but I love you" she's just trying not to cry
he hit her once again, I can't stand to see her eyes
I got beat up once again, it makes me so fucking tired
I'm being pushed to the limit I've got to get out of here
I'm all alone again I guess it's just not my luck
I made all the right decisions, with friends like these I should be dead
get up just one more try
get up I can't decide
get up no reason why
why this feels like suicide
get up get up get up

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.
