Still Trying Lyrics

When I wake up in the morning I'm gonna tell
I was standing looking backwards in the outs (?)
You said there's room enough to cramping in the crowd
No movement here no friends to break us out
Stop breathing or we'll just twin fout (?)

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know a goddamn thing

In these moments I forget to tell myself
And if you're rolling in it long enough your shit won't even smell
Is there no one I can trust to point it out
Well I can hardly be right here, I was spitting on myself
When I wake up in the morning I'm gonna tell

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I dont' know a goddamn thing

This wound is gonna cancel me out (x4)

Ooh ooh I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know a goddamn thing

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.

I read in an interview that this is about his struggle with alcoholism and when he wakes up in the morning he keeps saying tomorrow he won’t do it again but he keeps doing it because he’s single and lonely and miserable
