Always Had the Blues Lyrics

I don't care if you're young and pretty
That's just youth and good genes
I don't care if you're big in the city
Nothing at all is what that means

I don't care if you think I'm ruthless
I've got no more sleep to lose
I don't care what you think the truth is
I have always had the blues

I may seem content
I seethe and I resent
I have always had the blues
Smiling ear to ear
Bitterness and fear
I have always had the blues

Being loved is overrated
But sometimes one cannot refuse
Only hate is reciprocated
I have always had the blues

I may seem content
I seethe and I resent
I have always had the blues
Smiling ear to ear
Bitterness and fear
I have always had the blues

I don't care if you're like a flower
You do not have what I need
I don't want your healing power
All I want to do is bleed

I may seem content
I seethe and I resent
I have always had the blues
Smiling ear to ear
Bitterness and fear
I have always had the blues

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.
