Self-Inflicted Wounds Lyrics

I wish I knew then
Now what I am seeing
I kicked you while you were down
And opened up your wounds while you were bleeding

And I'm sorry I was so blind
But now I see it
I told them your story
While you were grieving

It was easy for me to
Blame it all on you
Never looking in the mirror
'Cause I couldn't take the truth
If hurt people hurt people
I didn't mean to
And nothing quite hurts like
These self-inflicted wounds

And I wish I knew then
What I've been replaying
I always did my best to try
And be your savior

You needed the space
And I just couldn't take it
Now I know it wasn't just mine
That you're breaking

It was easy for me to
Blame it all on you
Never looking in the mirror
'Cause I couldn't face the truth
If hurt people hurt people
I didn't mean to
And nothing quite hurts like
These self-inflicted wounds

It was easy for me to
Blame it all on you
Never looking in the mirror
'Cause I couldn't face the truth
If hurt people hurt people
I thought you were bulletproof
And nothing quite hurts like
These self-inflicted wounds

I wish I knew then
Now what I am seeing
I kicked you while you were down
And opened up your wounds while you were bleeding

And I'm sorry I was so blind
But now I see it
I told them your story
While you were grieving

It was easy for me to
Blame it all on you
Never looking in the mirror
'Cause I couldn't take the truth
If hurt people hurt people
I didn't mean to
And nothing quite hurts like
These self-inflicted wounds

And I wish I knew then
What I've been replaying
I always did my best to try
And be your savior

You needed the space
And I just couldn't take it
Now I know it wasn't just mine
That you're breaking

It was easy for me to
Blame it all on you
Never looking in the mirror
'Cause I couldn't face the truth
If hurt people hurt people
I didn't mean to
And nothing quite hurts like
These self-inflicted wounds

It was easy for me to
Blame it all on you
Never looking in the mirror
'Cause I couldn't face the truth
If hurt people hurt people
I thought you were bulletproof
And nothing quite hurts like
These self-inflicted wounds

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.
