Lyrics

[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

[Verse 2]

Now I know why you've been shaking

Now I know why you've been shaking

Now I know why you've been shaking

Now I know why you've been shaking

[Verse 3]

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, yeah

[Verse 4]

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

Buying lies and stealing jokes

And laughing every time I choke

Biding all the time you took

Now I know why you've been taken

[Verse 5]

Now I know why you've been taken

Now I know why you've been taken

Now I know why you've been taken

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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 8]

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 shaking

[Verse 9]

Buying lies and stealing jokes

And laughing every time I choke

Biding all the time you took

Now I know why you've been taken

[Verse 10]

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
