[Verse 1]
I been moving through this life so lost
Tryna find somebody real but everything got a cost
Every time I give my heart away it comes back broke
And I been drowning in this pain so long I forgot how to float
Mmm…
Don’t know who to trust, don’t know who to call
Every time I let somebody in I take the fall
Been doing this wrong so many times I lost count
And my heart so heavy now the tears just pour out
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause every time I try
I do it wrong somehow
Every time I reach
I don’t know how to hold on now
And my heart…
oh, my heart can’t take much more of this…
[Chorus]
It’s bleeding out, slowly
dripping through my hands
I keep trying to love right
but nobody understands
Lost in the middle of myself
don’t know who to let in
Every time I open up
I gotta start again
Mmm… again
Oh… again
[Verse 2]
I sit alone at night just staring at the ceiling
Trying to make sense of all this hurt I keep on feeling
Gave everything I had and still it wasn’t enough
Thought love was supposed to be beautiful
why does it gotta be so rough
Mmm…
I don’t even recognize the person in the mirror no more
She used to smile easy
now she scared to open the door
Been through so much that my chest stay tight
And I pray to God every single night
just make it right
[Pre-Chorus]
But every time I try
I do it wrong somehow
I can’t figure out
who deserves me now
And my heart…
Lord, my heart is bleeding out loud…
[Chorus]
It’s bleeding out, slowly
dripping through my hands
I keep trying to love right
but nobody understands
Lost in the middle of myself
don’t know who to let in
Every time I open up
I gotta start again
Mmm… again
Oh… again
[Bridge — raw, slow, almost a cry]
I don’t know who to trust
I don’t know who to give a chance to
Everybody look like a lesson
dressed up like a blessing
and I’m tired of going through
Mmm…
I just want somebody real
somebody who gon’ feel
what I feel
and still stay
I just want love that don’t cost me
everything
every
single
time…
Ohhh…
[Final Chorus — bigger, fuller, with runs]
It’s bleeding out, slowly
Lord it’s dripping through my hands
I keep trying to love right
and I still don’t understand
I’m so lost inside myself
scared to let love in
But something deep inside me knows
I’ll try again
Mmm… I’ll try again
Oooh… I’ll try again
Yeah…
[Outro — whispered, tender]
Even with a bleeding heart…
I’ll try again
Even lost like this…
I’ll try again
Mmm…
I will…
