Bleeding Love
ASTR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were caught in a reckless flame
And the lies told we can't take back now
We almost had it all
But now we're left in chains
Oh we started a war
There's no turning back
'Til we come down
Heartbeats full of fire
Now we're caught up in emotion
Cut me with your lies
Now we're never gonna slow down
We keep bleeding love
'Til we come down
We keep bleeding love
'Til we come down
'Til we come down
'Til we come down
Already over it now
Caught in your line of fire
Had a hold and a can't escape
Put me down with your cruel desire
The writing's on the wall but we're too blind to see
Oh we started a war
There's no turning back
There's no turning back
'Til we come down
Heartbeats full of fire
Now we're caught up in emotion
Cut me with your lies
Now we're never gonna slow down
We keep bleeding love
'Til we come down
We keep bleeding love
'Til we come down
'Til we come down
'Til we come down
Already over it now
Gone
And I can't breath
We could, we could run
We could, we could
Every little thing we hold
But we can't leave
We could, we could run
We could, we could
'Til we come down
Heartbeats full of fire
Now we're caught up in emotion
Cut me with your lies
Now we're never gonna slow down
We keep bleeding love
'Til we come down
We keep bleeding love
'Til we come down
'Til we come down
'Til we come down
Already over it now

@Venusc0res
You guys deserve more recognition
@spacebaged
+Cecelia Abellio A LOT more. But to be honest, with unique and undeniable talent like this it's only a matter of time.
@AmericanDreamer
They need better manager!
@AStaticCharacter
Found these two last summer in a pretty dark time of my life. I've kind of emerged and I'm a hell of a lot stronger, and listening to them gave me a lot of strength to get through everything.
@SlendermanXXI
How haven't you guys been signed by a massive record label yet?!
@gilbag
Popular tastes and great music are usually mutually exclusive.
@mathildesm954
I want to thank you guys so much for this awesome song with an even more awesome video. Keep working hard, and consider spinning by Montreal if you get the chance. I have a feeling you'd like it here ;) ♥
@Mstjohn1991
Was on set when they filmed this video. Super chill group of people, and super great music.
@AhJotahTube
Loving the latest songs so much. I've been bumpin this one in my car for a good 2 months - sounds brilliant on a good set of speakers. Keep up the good work. How ASTR isn't a huge act is beyond me.
