Bleeding Love Lyrics

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

Ooooh...

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melted...

    its about her relationship and how people tell her tat the man is bad for her and she dose not care about what they say say because she still loves the person.

    I feel this song is about a woman who has fallen in love and has once again been hurt. "you cut me open and I keep bleeding love" This line represents that she has been hurt so much by this man that she has resulted in cutting herself or suicide and her love for him is bleeding out of her, however she still loves him so deeply that it is taking over her and people are telling her to be careful. She loves him so much that she ,in a way, doesn't care about the pain.

    The girl in this song loves a man one who deep inside she and everyone else knows is not good for her. She doesn't care even though he's hurt her. Maybe he can't be with just her, maybe he can not give up his habits of needing attention from every women. The singer is blinded by his love, emotion and affection. Maybe she is insecure and hasn't realized her worth and it prevents her from breaking away from this manipulative man. However, she must listen to those telling her hes no good take her blinders off and move forward.

    To me, this song is talking about how she has gotten her heart broken before. It was a strong love, and now It ended. Later, she and the guy want to try it again, but everyone is telling her no. he is not good enough. She knows he is a heart breaker yet she still wants him. she still loves him. She wants to follow her heart but everyone is trying to keep her away from him. She doesn't care. They get back together, but then she is not happy because he treats her poorly yet she cant leave him because she thinks they are ment to be.

    This song to me is about trying so hard to close off the way you feel. Listening to what everyone thinks is the right thing to do and not following your own heart. Its about shutting your heart down and how badly hurts it can be a crippling feeling. Never close the heart to love it may be the only chance you get at real love. The heart knows what the heart wants.

    "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"
    She is saying that she has been hurt over and over again by previous relationships, but now she is tired of it. So she thinks that the only way to end all the pains is to avoid love. But as time passes by, she starts to realise that she is frozen inside. Without love, she doesn't feel complete

    "But something happened
    For the very first time with you
    My heart melted to the ground
    Found something true
    And everyone's looking 'round
    Thinking I'm going crazy"
    She is sick of being incomplete. Then she finds a guy who is perfect for her. But everyone says that he is no different to the past boyfriends and that he is going to hurt her.

    "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 I"
    Here, she is overlooking all of the warnings that are given to her because no one know how he makes her feel. All this time, she had closed her heart it only worsened her condition and her heart became crippled because her world became bleak without love. The guy comes and cuts her heart open and then cuts the vein, which has been acting as a shield to protect her heart. After cutting the heart open, she is now free to love. But when you cut things it always leaves a scar.

    "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
    Maybe, maybe"
    Now, everyone is trying to tell her that they should break up because they see all the pain she is in. Deep inside she knows that they are right but she can't stop loving him so she continues to be with him.

    "And it's draining all of me
    Oh they find it hard to believe
    I'll be wearing these scars
    For everyone to see"
    She is implying that the relationships is killing her inside. He is hurting her and he knows it. She feels all the scars he has given her. But loves him too much to let him go.

    I love this song so much. It kind of represents my life right now <3
