[Instrumental Intro 00:00-00:44]

[Verse 1]
Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on
What I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook

[Refrain]
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Now I know why you've been shakin'

[Chorus]
So bleed your heart out
And there's no more rides for free, yeah
Bleed your heart out
I said, "What's in it for me, yeah?
What's in it for me, yeah?"

[Verse 2]
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Buyin' lies and stealing jokes and
Laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
[Refrain]
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken

[Chorus]
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free, yeah
Bleed your heart out
I said, "What's in it for me, yeah?
What's in it for me?"
What's in it for, what's in it for

[Bridge]
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel

[Verse 3]
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on
What I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Buyin' lies and stealin' jokes and
Laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
[Refrain]
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
