[English]

Feeling unsatisfied, unable to be satisfied. So tell me why (I cry)

Can't wipe away my love for you (Red wine)

No matter how much I get hurt

The answer is always I don't want to part

I can't endure it anymore, not more than this

Overflowing red tears

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my bleeding, my love

Bleeding, my bleeding, my love

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my bleeding, my love

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my love

Having nowhere to belong, about to lose my way (Where should I go)

Flashing yellow, can't stop my love (Red light)

No matter how much I'm loved

The answer is always I don't want to part

I can't endure it anymore, not more than this

Unraveling the red thread

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my bleeding, my love

Bleeding, my bleeding, my love

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my bleeding, my love

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my love

(Bleeding my love, bleeding my love)

I'm bleeding my love

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my bleeding, my love

Bleeding, my bleeding, my love

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my bleeding, my love

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my love

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my bleeding, my love

Bleeding, my bleeding, my love

I'm bleeding, my bleeding, my bleeding, my love

Baby, I’m bleeding for you

I'm bleeding my love
