| I think this is a song about a guy who likes this girl but she keeps leaving. He is upset about this so he starts to drink..."a lonely liver suspended in liquid." | |

| this song has some of the best lyrics ive ever heard. "woke up to my daily headache and the realization that you are gone" It dosnt get more true for me.this song means how you love someone so much that it seem like you need them but they always go away but when they are gone you realize you didnt need them as much as you thought you did. Learn to be happy with yourself. | |

| The original was made by Hot Water Music but I think their cover of it is better. This version's better than HWM's sour sounding acoustic one | |

| i love this song too.....in fact i love all alkaline trio songs....this a brilliant song. i think he's realising that it wasn't the girlfriend who has just left thats making him sad he's realised that he's just unhappy and that the girl was a distraction but he thinks he needs the distraction. hmm just my opinion...xxxxxxxxx | |

| as an avid (and i stress the word avid) alkaline trio fan, i would say "bleeder" is surely one of their best litereary works. but i do have to admit that i like the hot water music cover a lot better. as beautifaul as the lyrics are, the trio just doesn't seem to have any emotion during this song. i hate to say it, but this song is flat. hot water music carries the emotion much nicer. | |

| this song reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. we never really acted like a couple. we didn't do anything that couples do. we were more of just friends, but for some reason we were together for 2 years. it still baffles me. but the line "My heart bleeds for what you never did" is so true for me. | |

| I'm still tryin to completely figure out the meaning of this song. Like I see it as him being sad bout her leaving just as the best part started and maybe hes just happy cuz hes been drinking now. But then the last lyric kinda confuses me, "my heart bled for what you never did until NOW". The "now" part seems to kinda reverse the whole song. Maybe he is just now realizing that breaking up was for the best. | |

| I think this song is about a girl he thought meant everything to him, but then she left and inside he thinks it was for the best, "i'm truly happy in my heart and in my head" But for some reason he feels guilty about the whole thing, "woke up to my daily headache and the realization that you are gone". Thats just what I think. Awesome song! | |
