Bleeding Love -- Leona Lewis

Look check it out. There's alotta people right now, tellin you alotta things about me. aight. and there's alot of it is negative. And you know what? Maybe I had a reason to tell you dat, cause you know I did have a past. And I was not a good man, but ever since I met you I've changed.

I Apologize for everything that I been did. I played alotta games and
it was just to tale to quit. I was in da deep, I cheated, had alotta secrets, and I know why they call me the creep, cause I was always creepin, but now I've changed ain't the man no more. Somethin inside me made me close that door.

And that's the past, don't let it affect our future, cause I'm ready to learn more and you can be my tutor. So please if you down to teach, baby girl I'm here to listen cause the games over, shorty I'm thinkin'a quitin.  I made a decision to leave the door behind and I'm ready to move forward. I don't wanna go to war, cause you are mine and no more lie and now I'm commited and I don't mean crimes and I won't hurt'chu. I'm here to be your doctor analist cause, I see you can't stop bleedin 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

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 risk 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  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

Jesse McCartney revealed this song was the pain of a long distance relationship. He said: "I kept thinking about being in love so much that it hurts. I was away from my girlfriend for fourth months at the time and I really wanted to throw in the towel (quit) and fly home. I was so in love that it was painful. It was like bleeding, it cut me open. That's how my head was and that idea just really fit the song."        (songfacts)
