Nothin' Lyrics

Everytime I try so hard I get nothin' (nothin')
They say try and you won't fail, I get nothin' (nothin')
I did all that I could I got nothin' (nothin')
I tried so hard, for nothin' (nothin')
I never wanted it that way, guess there was nothin' I could say
I don't know what I want
But i know I don't want this
I give up, I give in, I know i'm never gonna win
I know it's really not your fault
I'm gonna blame you anyway
You say you're sorry but I know it won't do no good
I give up, I give in, I know I'm never gonna win
I don't fuckin' care, I don't fuckin' care
I don't fuckin' care anymore
It's gonna be all right
Cause I don't fuckin' care anymore

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.

This is the perfect embodiment of all the frustration and humility and general shittiness of giving up.

Just like any of their other fucking kick ass songs, it's just all about being pissed off at the world and not giving a shit
