Bleeding Love
L. Lewis Lyrics

Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
I was not interested in love because I did not want to feel any pain.

Once or twice was enough, but it was all in vain
I have experienced pain in love before, and thought that a few tries were enough, but it all resulted in failure and disappointment.

Time starts to pass, before you know it, you're frozen
Time can make you feel stuck, helpless and hopeless, without you realizing it in the moment.

But something happened, for the very first time with you
With you, something is different and unique, something that has never happened before.

My heart melts into the ground, found something true
My heart has found something it truly loves, something that feels real and authentic.

And everyone's looking round, thinking I'm going crazy
Others are observing my emotions and reactions, believing that I am becoming irrational or insane for falling deeply in love.

But I don't care what they say
I choose not to pay attention to their opinions and judgments, as they do not understand how strongly I feel for you.

I'm in love with you
I am deeply and truly in love with you.

They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
People are trying to convince me to leave you or forget about you, but they do not understand that what I feel for you is real and irreplaceable.

My heart's crippled by the vein, that I keep on closing
My heart is struggling with its own vulnerability, as I try to protect it by shutting off from emotions and experiences that could cause pain.

You cut me open and I
You have managed to break down my walls and defenses and allowed me to feel and love openly, yet painfully.

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I continue to feel the pain of loving you so deeply and passionately, which keeps me vulnerable and exposed.

Trying hard not to hear, but they talk so loud
I am trying my best to ignore or block out the noise of others' opinions and doubts about my love for you, but it can be overwhelming.

Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt
Their words and criticism are hurting me and making me question myself and my feelings for you.

Yet I know that the goal, is to keep me from falling
I am aware that their intentions are to protect me from getting hurt or making mistakes, but I am still willing to take risks for love.

But nothings greater, than the rush that comes with your embrace
The feeling of being in your arms and loved by you is the most amazing and powerful emotion I have ever experienced.

And in this world of loneliness, I see your face
Amidst the sadness and isolation of the world around me, your face and love bring me comfort and purpose.

And it's draining all of me
The pain and struggle of loving you so deeply is consuming all of my energy and emotions.

Oh they find it hard to believe
Others have a hard time accepting or understanding the intensity of my emotions for you.

I'll be wearing these scars, for everyone to see
The pain and vulnerability of my love for you will always be visible to others, as I carry the emotional scars of our relationship.

Oh, you cut me open and I
You have left me exposed and vulnerable by opening up my heart to love and pain like never before.

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I cannot stop the pain and vulnerability of my love for you, which keeps me constantly bleeding and exposed emotionally.

You cut me open
You are the cause of my newfound vulnerability and heartache, yet I still love you deeply and passionately.
