Lyrics by chris cornell Music by ben shepherd / chris cornell 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 Now i know why you've been shaking Now i know why you've been shaking So bleed your heart out There's no more rides for free Bleed your heart out I said what's in it for me 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 Now i know why you've been taken So bleed your heart out There's no more rides for free Bleed your heart out I said what is in it for me
