High Lonesome Lyrics

i've tried to think this out
ten times now
but i'ts gone the temptation to reason
fuck reason
and fuck all the words you've written
they make no sense
not in retrospect
please tell me
why did you walk back in today?
but before you see me
it's been over a year now
and i'm hardly sound
and i'm over pretending
i'm no longer shaking
or walking the ground.
i'll try to work this out
but i don't know how
it goes on this frustration lacks meaning
fuck meaning
and fuck all the pain it brings
this makes no sense
i don't buy what you send
please tell me
why did you walk back in today?
i've tried to run
but i stay here,
and i don't know why
i would wait
there's still a reason
and it burns down
in ashes where i lay
why did you walk back in today?
i'm drowning

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.
