Bridle You Lyrics

Strip me down
Wash me white
Leave the spots in my eyes
Novelty
Wearing thin
Overload of truth and advice

Narrow minds
Move hollow mouths
To taste the foot that they bite
To make you vague but polite

And I see you don't lose so well
Viscous (I've never seen)
Blood (Flowing and free)
Savage (I'll bridle you)

Save you from yourself

And I see you don't lose so well
Fragile beautiful
Scratch and bite to save
A feeling so betrayed

Viscous (I've never seen)
Blind (Hopeful and free)
Savage (I'll bridle you)

To save you from yourself
Who am I to judge?

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.
