- Bleeding Love (Album Version)

Leona Lewis has hit it big in the UK, winning Simon Cowell's "The X-Factor" (think of American Idol across the Pond) Her "Bleeding Love" has made her a British success,and she's bringing it overseas. It's enjoying success in the colonies.

"Bleeding Love" is the usual heartbreak/breakup song. There are the lyrics of "you're cutting me up/I'm bleeding love." The lyrics aren't that bad. It's a song about codependence, or the pain of an emotional break. Lewis' delivery is semi-soulful/semi-Celine Dion. The instrumentation, which is soft rock-meets-hip hop, makes her a quasi-Mariah Carey. Every once in awhile, Lewis verges into histironics. The song is neither as great as KT Tunstall,nor as awful as Fergie. It's "eh."

"Bleeding Love" won't have you dancing along. It's a ballad,and a bland one at that. If you're bleeding love, get an antiseptic,and put on a band-aid.

Song Lyric: - Bleeding Love (Album Version)

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 melted to 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 (keep) bleeding love (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 (ooh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (ooh ooh)
Keep bleeding (oh ooh ooh)
Keep, keep bleeding love (love)
(Oh) you cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love (yeah ah yeah)
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (oh, I keep bleeding love)
Keep bleeding (I keep)
Keep, keep bleeding love (oh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
