All the Same Lyrics

Here she comes, once again
I can still remember when
We were close as can be
Now she won't acknowledge me

And it's all the same
And I refuse to play your game
No matter what I do for you
I'm still to blame

Love is gone, so are you
You've got better things to do
Now I find in the end
I have lost my one true friend

But it's all the same
And I refuse to play your game
No matter what I do for you
I'm still to blame

Mother's a living thing
But sometimes she's bad from forgiving things
But I would give anything
If a means to an end could be found

But it is all rushing
And I refuse to play your game
No matter what I do for you
I'm still to blame

Love is a heaven thing
But sometimes it's cruel from deserving things
It's only in certain things
It can be lost just as fast as it's found

I feel tough, life is great
Good things come to those who wait
Now she's gone and I find
Love is just a state of mind

But it's all the same
And I refuse to play your game
No matter what I do for you
I'm still to blame

Here she comes, once again
I can still remember when
We were close as can be
Now she won't acknowledge me

And it's all the same
And I refuse to play your game
No matter what I do for you
I'm still to blame

Love is gone, so are you
You've got better things to do
Now I find in the end
I have lost my one true friend

But it's all the same
And I refuse to play your game
No matter what I do for you
I'm still to blame

Mother's a living thing
But sometimes she's bad from forgiving things
But I would give anything
If a means to an end could be found

But it is all rushing
And I refuse to play your game
No matter what I do for you
I'm still to blame

Love is a heaven thing
But sometimes it's cruel from deserving things
It's only in certain things
It can be lost just as fast as it's found

I feel tough, life is great
Good things come to those who wait
Now she's gone and I find
Love is just a state of mind

But it's all the same
And I refuse to play your game
No matter what I do for you
I'm still 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.
