Bleed Me Lyrics

Take what you want
Take what you need (it's alright)
Take what you want
I'm down on my knees (it's alright)
Take what you want
I'm starting to bleed (it's alright)
Take what you want
And then you can leave (it's alright)
Take what you need
Leave me to bleed
Take what you need
Take it and leave
I couldn't move
I couldn't hurt but I tried
Looking for something
I couldn't find but I tried
Try to be truthful
You told the truth but I lied
You can be useful
But then you were used and it died
Take what you need
Take it and leave
Take what you need
Leave me to bleed

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.
