Romeo Is Bleeding Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You made me love you
Too blind to see, yeah
Tomorrow comes
Casanova might bleed
Having so much
How could I be so far wrong
I've always known pain is part of pleasure
For someone else
Hoping it would never cloud my soul
Taking me so long to fall, oh no

[Chorus]
Romeo is bleeding
Can't hold out forever
Romeo is bleeding
Hurting for himself
Romeo is bleeding
No pulling it together
Romeo is bleeding
Why you die for love?

[Verse 2]
You can't imagine what you don't know
So here I am
How'd I get so much in love
Led by my heart
And addicted to the thrill - oh
You come around say
You lost your love light
L'm breaking down
Paying for my past life
Found out by all the pain that I feel
[Chorus]
Romeo is bleeding
Can't hold out forever
Romeo is bleeding
Hurting for himself
Romeo is bleeding
No pulling it together
Romeo is bleeding
Why you die for love?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
I won't die
But I better find a way to be healed
Right now, oh

[Chorus]
Romeo is bleeding (Oh, holding on)
Can't hold out forever (Oh, holding on)
Romeo is bleeding (Holding on)
Hurting for himself
Romeo is bleeding (Oh, holding on)
No pulling it together (Oh, holding on)
Romeo is bleeding (Holding on)
Why you die for love?
Why you die, why you die for love?
[Outro]
(Oh, holding on)
Don't ever die for love
(Oh, holding on)
Don't ever die for love
(Holding on)
Oh, my hand now
And Romeo is bleeding (Oh, holding on)
No holding it together (Oh, holding on)
Romeo is bleeding (Holding on)
Why you die, why you die?
Why you die, why you die-die-ie-ie
(Oh, holding on) Oh-ooh-oh
(Oh, holding on) Oh-ooh-oh-oh
(Holding on)
(Oh, holding on) Oh-ooh-oh
(Oh, holding on) Oh-ooh-oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
