Still Can't Recognize The Way I Feel Lyrics

Still can't recognize the way I feel.
Nothing of what you said to me was real.
And you still can't find the strength to apologize.
You just go on laughing and telling ev'ryone lies.
'Cause you wanted it all,
You wanted it all,
You wanted it all.
No, and there's nothin' at all,
There's nothin' at all,
There's nothin' at all.
Maybe if you could see beyond your nose.
Nothing of what has happened surely shows.
But your ego excelled and then your attitude.
And you went on laughing and shouting, it's all too shrewd.
'Cause you wanted it all,
You wanted it all,
You wanted it all.
No, and there's nothin' at all,
There's nothin' at all,
There's nothin' at all.
Still can't recognize the way I feel.
Nothing of what you said to me was real.
And you still can't find the strength to apologize.
You just go on laughing and telling ev'ryone lies.
'Cause you wanted it all,
You wanted it all,
You wanted it all.
No, and there's nothin' at all,
There's nothin' at all,
There's nothin' at all.
Wanted it all,
Wanted it all,
You wanted it all.

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.

It says it's called "Still Can't..." on the cover. Although actually this is probably a better title.
