Hot Chelle Rae – Bleed lyrics
I feel like I'm drowning in ice water
My lips have turned a shade of blue
I'm frozen with this fear
That you may disappear
Before I've given you the truth

I bleed my heart out on this paper for you
So you can see what I can't say
I'm dying here (I'm dying here)
'Cause I can't say what I want to
I bleed my heart out just for you

I've always dreamed about this moment
And now it's here and I've turned to stone
I stand here petrified
As I look you in your eyes
My head is ready to explode

I bleed my heart out on this paper for you
So you can see what I can't say
I'm dying here
'Cause I can't say what I want to
I bleed my heart out just for you

And it's all here in
Black and white and red
For all the times
Those words were never said

I bleed my heart out on this paper for you
So you can see what I can't say
I'm dying here
'Cause I can't say what I want to
I bleed my heart out just for you

I bleed my heart out just for you.

    I think the message hot chelle rae is trying to communicate to the public is that sometimes, it's hard to say whats on your mind and what you're feeling. Every word you try to say gets stuck in your throat, and when it comes down to the moment of truth (professing your feelings to the one you love) you're too petrified to get anything to leave your lips. You don't want to lose the person you love and regret telling them how you felt, because that embarrassment is worse than the one you feel when standing in front of them trying to say whats on your mind. This song is basically telling us that "you need to hear how i feel before it's too late. "

    This song is about being in love with someone but not having the strength to tell them so and being worried that your true love will leave you before you have your chance to say how you feel and if you don't you'll be stuck wiv them feelings with you the rest of your life. You've imagined the moment when you get to tell that special person how much you love them, but when that special moment comes you just let it slip away and you can never go back and say what need to be said.
    For me I have been having these song lyrics happen to me in the past year and everything has happened, to the fear of him leaving, to the perfect moment of when I could tell him and I still think of every single way I could have told him at that very moment and now its just gotten harder to try and tell him :(
    but he will always be in my heart no matter what :)

    The song is about breaking up with someone who your still in love with. You wish you could speak to them and when you finally get their attention you choke because of all the emotions and all the things you want to say but really can't. They broke up because of something they couldn't control I. E. Parents ect. So he wants to give a note that shows everything that has been built up. He feels as if hes dyin without the person but doesn't know if they feel the same-shi♥.

    I feel like I could have wrote this song. For me its about love lost. I met a lady in a time of us both being unhappy, and separated in our marriages. I know we both had/have genuine feelings for each other, but she went back to "work it out for the kids" which I know in my heart won't work (been there done that) so for me, it's loving her so much, that I have to let her go. Even though I see her, unhappy, not loving her husband anymore, and it kills me inside. It kills me so much, that I've tried staying away, so I don't have to see her pain. But I love her so much, that I just can't seem to stay away. Someday. Maybe i'll have the closure that I need. : o/.

    I've always dreamed about this moment.

    My head is ready to explode.
    This part of the song makes me think of an abandoned child, now an adult, meeting with a birth parent. The longing and anticipation are too great for them to bear, and they clam up. They give their parent stacks of unsent letters that they wrote trhroughout their childhood. The raw emotions of these letters are reflected in the rest of the song, especially the lines:.
    I'm dying here (I'm dying here).
    'cause I can't say what I want to.
    I bleed my heart out just for you.

    I have lost some close people to me and I can't get the nerve to tell them waht I want to say. I want to tell two of them that I pushed away that I miss them but I'm scared to because I think they have moved on but I can't move on or get the courage to tell them sorry and I want to try again. I'm just to scared to say what I want to.

    I never thought a song could mirror my life like this one has. My whole childhood my grandmother was my best friend and most of the time a better mother than my own. She started getting sick a couple years ago. I knew time was running out but I froze every time I tried to tell her how much she meant to me. About a month ago I decided to write a letter. The letter was 3 pages long. I finally got the courage to read it to her and we both cried. She died a week ago. The only thing this gets me through each day is knowing she heard me. It was fate that I heard this song on the radio today.

    I think that this song is about how when you lose a friend, and you write them inspirational notes so that they are reminded about you enough that they come back. I also that it is about someone who can't say what they want to, so they write notes to who they are trying to communicate with. It could just be about some guy, too shy to tell that special person how they feel about them, so they write notes to avoid face to face confrontation.

    This song is there for all the girls and guys that can't say how they feel for the one they love so they do it in a song, letter or a poem. I know because I have done it a lot of times. I guess I'm just scared of getting hurt when I do it face to face. So I can relate to this song a lot! And I know a lot of others can to.
