Taking You Out Lyrics

Please, shield me from the madness that I see
Pressure's got the people on their knees
Not praying for forgiveness

Release me, please

You're not killing any part of me
You're not taking me down
You're not killing any part of me
Because the harder you push just feeds the fire that keeps taking you down

Awake, staring at the window
Come on, take a million pieces of me
I won't break or suffer here in silence

Release me, please

You're not killing any part of me
You're not taking me down
You're not killing any part of me
Because the harder you push just feeds the fire that keeps taking you down

You're not killing any part of me
You're not taking me down
You're not killing any part of me
Because the harder you push just feeds the fire, the fire

You're not killing any part of me
You're not taking me down
You're not killing any part of me
Because the harder you push just feeds the fire that keeps taking you down

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.
