Reasons Lyrics

You can steal my eyes
Carve them out, I don't even need them
I don't wanna see anyone other than you
You cover your face
You're afraid to see the outcome
It's more than any one person can bear

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
Take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

You've pierced my heart, it's useless
I don't really need it
It belongs to nobody other than you
You can cut out my tongue
I'm speechless, a defeatist
And I'm wasting away to nothing at your feet, so

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
Take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
If my heart is made out of gold
Then why does it feel like I'm here all alone?
And you take me for (take me for)
Granted you (granted you)
Take me for reasons known only by you

I'm hollowed out, can't you see?
You've ripped out my soul right from under me
Have little to show for anything
It's everything that you have hoped for

You take me for (take me for)
Granted you (granted you)
Take me for reasons known only by you
Take me for (take me for)
Granted you (granted you)
Take me for reasons known only by you
If my heart is made out of gold
Then why does it feel like I'm here all alone?
And you take me for (take me for)
Granted you
Take me for reasons known only by you

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.

the first song on the cd i've felt strongly about so far.

The first time i heard this song, i woke up to it and i thought during the last chorus the background singers were singing a song from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia and saying "Tiny boy, baby boy, i need you."

Randomness aside, i think the song is about a someone who has given their all to another who is not returning the love and devotion. The singer continues to give their heart but the relationship stays one-sided until the singer has exhausted himself emotionally. I think the lines "You cover your face/ You're afraid to see the outcome," suggests that the singer thinks the other is just scared of what might happen, maybe they were friends and they don't want to ruin that, I'm not sure
