"Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" is a song by the rock band Fuel, released as the first single from their album Something Like Human. The single spent twelve weeks at number one on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart and is the band's most successful song to date. An acoustic version is a bonus track on the special edition.

To date, "Hemorrhage" is Fuel's highest charting single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts, peaking at #30.[1]

The string section featured on the electric version was arranged by David Campbell.

Chris Daughtry performed this song on American Idol as a contestant in early 2006, which was during the period after longtime singer/guitarist Brett Scallions had left the group, prompting Fuel bassist Jeff Abercrombie and guitarist/songwriter Carl Bell to publicly ask Daughtry to be their new lead singer on the television show Extra.[2] On the show Abercrombie stated "Chris, if you are watching, we've talked about this before, and if you want to entertain it again we'll take it and go..."[2] Daughtry eventually declined the offer to pursue a solo career.[3]
