Blood Pressure Lyrics

Does growing older really mean growing alone
does anyone feel the fear that I've come to know
if I could take a second, I could breathe
my body is broken down and weak
I feel such a self-loathing, I can't sleep
so I lie in the dark, and I wait for tomorrow
but it never comes

Everyone’s so full of shit
(but I know)
I don't wanna keep buying it
(so I won't)
just give me a reason to stay here

I'm afraid for the future
I don't wanna share it with you
hiding on my own, I'll never return
I don't wanna share this with anyone

You can take my place in line
recycle the cycle I left behind
I'm going overboard tonight
do you remember writing down all our goals
laughing at each other, 'cause we both know
that we'll never reach them

Now we're alone

The pressure is on, and the day has only just begun

I'm afraid for the future
I don't wanna share it with you
hiding on my own, I'll never return
I don't wanna share this with anyone

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.
