Bleed Out
Jason Derülo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This isn’t
This is, ooh

I love hard love
When you put , put a gun on my heart
I just gotta say hey
I just gotta say hey.
I’ve always loved hard
So I take it slow
I guess is my fault ‘cause I wanna go
But I, always care for you
My perfect not even close
But I don’t deserve this
But girl I suppose
I wasn’t there for you

Baby we’re nothing else to say
Look me in my place I can’t live out this way
Can’t live out this way
Can’t live out this way
You put it in my heart
Start just a little just a little
Dance I bleed.

When I bleed, I bleed out
When I cry, I cry loud
When I love
When you leave I bleed out.

When I bleed, I bleed out
When I cry, I cry loud
When I love
When you leave I bleed out.

I look in those eyes
There’s nothing there
I’m looking into
The cold is there
I, ever see
We haven’t touched each other forever
Know what I do, if we’re not together
I’m not ready to leave, no baby.

Baby we’re nothing else to say
Look me in my place I can’t live out this way
Can’t live out this way
Can’t live out this way
You put it in my heart
Start just a little just a little
Dance, I bleed.

When I bleed, I bleed out
When I cry, I cry loud
When I love
When you leave I bleed out.

When I bleed, I bleed out
When I cry, I cry loud
When I love
When you leave I bleed out.

Hey I look
Why you wanna out a gun in my heart
I just gotta say hey
I just gotta say hey

When I bleed, I bleed out
When I cry, I cry loud




When I love
When you leave I bleed out.
