Blue Mesas Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
Ain't no peace at the top
I don't know how much air I got
I won't ever get used to this
'Cause it ain't what it seems
And don't nobody check on me
It's a slow way to go, all alone

[Chorus]
How you get lonely even though
You're surrounded by the ones you know?
Killing myself, saying these words
There's a hurting deep down in my soul
But I learn not to let it show
Do I need help?
No

[Verse 2]
There's a price I'ma pay
For hiding feelings I don't say
Keep my cool or I lose my way
Try to talk to the wind
But ooh, I just can't pretend
I'm a man, man without a friend

[Chorus]
How you get lonely even though
You're surrounded by the ones you know?
Killing myself, saying these words
There's a hurting right now in my soul
But I learn never let it show
Do I need help?
No, no, no
How you get lonely even though
You're surrounded by the ones you know?
Killing myself, saying these words
There's a hurting deep down in my soul
But I learn never let it show
Do I need help?
No, no, no, no, no

[Instrumental Outro]

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.
