Bleeding Love
Leona Lewis丽安娜刘易斯 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough, but it was all in vain
Time starts to pass, before you know it, you're frozen
But something happened, for the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking round, thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein, that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear, but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal, is to keep me from falling
But nothings greater, than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness, I see your face
Yet everyone around me, thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein, that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars, for everyone to see

I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein, that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
Oh, you cut me open and I

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
Oh, you cut me open and I





Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love" tells a story of a person who had closed themselves off from love due to past hurt and pain. They had given love a chance a few times before, but it hadn't worked out, leaving them with a heart guarded and frozen in apprehension. However, when they meet this new person, something inexplicable happens. They melt into the ground and experience something true, and suddenly, the world seems different. They are so deeply in love that it makes others around them think they’re going crazy.


The song’s chorus is about the vulnerability that comes with love. In trying not to listen to others or the doubts in their own head, the person’s scars are visible for everyone to see. Love has cut them open, making them bleed, but they don't care. They are willing to take the chance on this one true love, even if it hurts in the end. The story ends with a repetition of the chorus, conveying the person's desire for love, even if it means getting hurt yet again.

This person was a source of light and love in an otherwise lonely world

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

A whole lot better than Contigo. Nothing beats the original, as I heard Contigo I immediately remembered Bleeding Love.

Hahahahahaha good

@dododo8874

Idk personally I like both. Sometimes artists sample songs like Ava max. Maybe Karol G did the same

@AzzyBerry

@@dododo8874I don’t think sampling is bad but nowadays I just don’t see any Justice with those samples. They’re all piggyback riding off of the samples instead of really making it unique and actually new.

I like many songs that use samples, shit I listen to kanye sometimes and he uses samples in every song. But songs nowadays just don’t feel authentic anymore imo :/
