You were a thief, you stole my heart
And I, your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me, that weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh oh
Things you never say to me, oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again
I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine (oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind (yeah, but this is happenin')
You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love (love)
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
I never stop, you're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again
Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust, but our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No, nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, can learn to love again
Oh, that we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again

Line by Line Meaning
Right from the start
From the very beginning
You were a thief, you stole my heart
You captivated my heart and entranced me completely
And I, your willing victim
I willingly surrendered to your charms
I let you see the parts of me, that weren't all that pretty
I exposed my vulnerable and unattractive sides to you
And with every touch you fixed them
Your touch healed the emotional wounds and scars I carried
Now you've been talking in your sleep
You have been revealing your deepest thoughts during your sleep
Things you never say to me
Things that you have kept hidden and never expressed to me before
Tell me that you've had enough
You're conveying that you've reached a breaking point and can't go on like this anymore
Of our love, our love
Of our romantic relationship
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Please give me a valid explanation, the smallest detail will be sufficient
Just a second we're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again
Our love is not entirely shattered, but slightly damaged, and we can salvage and rejuvenate it
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
It is fated and inevitable, documented and embodied in the emotional wounds we bear
We're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again
Our love is not totally ruined, but rather deformed, and can be restored again
I'm sorry I don't understand
I apologize for not comprehending your perspective
Where all of this is coming from
I do not know where this is originated or what caused it
I thought that we were fine (oh we had everything)
I believed that we were doing well (we had all that we needed)
Your head is running wild again
Your imagination is running rampant once more
My dear we still have everythin'
My beloved, we still possess all that we need
And it's all in your mind (yeah but this is happenin')
But it is only occurring in your thoughts and not in reality (yet it still has an impact)
You've been havin' real bad dreams oh oh
You have been experiencing serious nightmares
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
You used to snuggle with me intimately and affectionately
There's nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love
There is no closer connection than sheets that divide our relationship
Oh our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love
Oh tear ducts and rust
Oh, tears and rust
I'll fix it for us
I will repair it for both of us
We're collecting dust, but our love's enough
We may be stagnant, but our love is still sufficient
You're holding it in
You have been holding your emotions bottled up inside
You're pouring a drink
You are pouring yourself a drink to cope with the emotional distress
No nothing is as bad as it seems
Nothing is quite as negative as it appears
We'll come clean
We will be honest and open with one another
Oh we can learn to love again
Oh, we can regain the ability to love once more
Oh that we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
Oh, we aren't ruined but only slightly damaged, and can renew our ability to love
