Baby Blue Lyrics

Hole in my heart
I couldn't change
I didn't know what was supposed to
Stuck in the fire
Turn in the grave
Watching the shadows stretch and taking my face

I didn't know what was supposed to
I didn't know what was supposed to
Now I want to
Yeah, I want to now

I
Don't
Care
To explain
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?
To
Be
Fair
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?

Standing alone
Off of the road
I didn't know what was supposed to
Creature is safe
Here in my veins
Watching the shadows stretch and taking my face

I didn't know what was supposed to
I didn't know what was supposed to
But I don't want to
Yeah, I want to now

I
Don't
Care
To explain
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?
To
Be
Fair
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?
Ghosts
Were
Killing all the way
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?
To
Be
Fair
I should say
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?
Keep on running

I've stuck in lies
All those dirty, rotten times
They've got time, time is gonna pass
I hope these 30 years won't last
But sometimes I
Am stuck in lies
All these sticky, twisted times
I've got time, time is gonna pass
I hope these 30 years won't last
Woo

I
Don't
Care
To explain
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?
To
Be
Fair
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?
Ghosts
Were
Killing all the way
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?
To
Be
Fair
I should say
Why're you running away?
Why're you running away?
Keep on running

Hole in my heart
I couldn't change
I didn't know what was supposed to

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.
