"Bleeding Love" is a song by Jesse McCartney, originally released in 2007. The song tells the story of someone who had been hurt and closed off from love in the past. They had experienced pain and disappointment in previous relationships, which made them hesitant to open up their heart again. However, when they meet someone new, something different happens. For the first time, this person melts their heart and they find something true and real. Despite this newfound love, the people around them think they are going crazy because they can't understand the depth of their feelings. The song reflects how love can be both joyful and painful. The person who is in love doesn't care about what others say or the doubts they try to instill. Their heart is vulnerable and crippled by the fear of being hurt again, but they continue to keep the barriers up. The person they love has the power to cut through those barriers and make them feel exposed and bleeding emotionally. The lyrics suggest that the love they feel is so intense that it consumes them. They find solace in the embrace of their love interest, as it brings them a rush of happiness. Despite the doubts and noise around them, they believe that nothing is greater than the love they share. The chorus, "I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love" represents the emotional pain that the person feels, as if their heart is constantly bleeding. They acknowledge that they may carry scars from past relationships, but they don't care because they are deeply in love. Ultimately, the song speaks about the struggles of love, the fear of being hurt again, and the power of finding true love that can break down barriers and leave one vulnerable and bleeding emotionally.
