Lonely Still Lyrics

This is where my ship has run aground
Stuck in the mud of the Puget Sound

I came from the great lakes
And I watched them turn dry
The sky turned black and I cried

I never thought heartbreak would follow me 'round
Well, I'm lonely
Well, I'm lonely still

Hammered hearts tired of being young
It wasn't you, it could have been anyone

I came from the great lakes
And I saw them turn dry
The sky turned black and I cried

I never thought heartbreak would follow me 'round
Well, I'm lonely
Well, I'm lonely still

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 song... Its like my anthem. I have gone through so many bad relationships in the past year that heartbreak seems to follow me around. Heh. I totally relate to this song in every way.
