Lost Cause Lyrics

Been here for so long now I'm falling down
oh you never called
waited all night long, you're still not around
this isn't working at all

drinking my money away, that didn't take up much time
time is all I got right now, time is not on my side
was it ever at all, I don't want to fall

hung up for so long, now I'm crashing down
I've just been waiting this out for so long
we hoped for the best, now we're finding out
we really had nothing at all
now I'm wondering why I was chasing this feeling
that I wasn't feeling at all
and I don't know how I got so tired and stupid
and I don't know how I let this go
so I am done waiting, and waiting and waiting
awaiting your call
please don't call, please don't call

fucked up for so long, I got myself to blame

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.
