The song is about a girl who is emotionally hurt by her lover repeatedly.
"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" - Here, she indicates that she was hurt in all of her past relationships. All of her efforts resulted in vain. She was tired of facing pain again and hence, she decided to be immune to pain by avoiding love. However, as time passes by, she realizes that she has become numb or "frozen" inside since her heart is hollow without love. She does not feel complete.
"But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy" - Then, she meets a guy and falls head over heels. She was already sick of feeling so incomplete. That's when she meets him. He seemed like a perfect match for her and the desperation to feel love broke down all of her previously built defenses. She fell hopelessly in love with him. Everyone thinks he is wrong for her and warns her that he is going to hurt her eventually like all of her past boyfriends.
"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"- Here, she is overlooking all the warnings that people are giving her. Because she knows that no one knows how he makes her feel the way she does. And all this time, she had closed her heart to love to avoid torment. It worsened her condition and her heart became "crippled" because her world became bleak without love. This guy comes and cuts her heart open. He cuts the vein which is acting as a shield over her heart and makes it open towards love. When he opened it, she starts "bleeding love", that is, she starts loving him unconditionally. Now, she is free to love. But what he is actually doing is cutting her heart which is going to leave a scar. This implies that she is emotionally abused by him. That is why she is "bleeding" because she is in pain. But, even then, all she is doing is loving him wholeheartedly, hence, she is "bleeding love".
"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"- Everyone is telling her to let go of him because they all see that he is causing her pain. Everyone tries to keep her from falling in love with him. She tries to overlook the warnings but, deep down, she knows that they are right. However, the intense and unconditional love she feels for him overshadows her judgment. She tolerates the misery and continues to be with him.
"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 think that she is implying how the relationships is killing her inside. He knowingly or inadvertently is hurting her. She feels all the scars he has given her. But loves him too blindly to let him go.
Its such a captivating song about the struggle between what her head and heart are saying.
