Take These Hands Lyrics

Take these hands and break them off of my arms
Cause I'm tired of waging wars
And I'm done with this
Now it's killing me
I'm broken, defeated
But I'm not repeating (I'm not repeating)

These memories are stained in my mind
So won't you wash them away?
Away tonight

Take these hands and break them off of my arms
Cause I'm tired of holding on
To this black and blue heart
Broken and bruised now
In pieces on the floor

Now it's time to find
the strength to carry on
Will I carry on?

I'm not gonna give this up
I'm not gonna fade away
(I've lost my way, I've lost my will to fight)
I'm never gonna give this up
For now I'm just down and out

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.
