Just Give Me a Reason
Alex Goot Lyrics

Right from the start you were a thief
From the very beginning, you took something precious from me.

You stole my heart and I your willing victim
You captured my heart and I willingly fell into your trap.

I let you see the parts of me that weren't all that pretty
I allowed you to see the less attractive aspects of myself.

And with every touch you fixed them
Your touch had the power to heal and mend those flaws.

Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Lately, you've been revealing your true thoughts while you're asleep.

Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Things that you never express to me when you're awake.

Tell me that you've had enough of our love, our love
You're telling me that you're tired and unsatisfied with our relationship.

Just give me a reason
Please provide me with a valid explanation.

Just a little bit's enough
I only need a small justification.

Just a second we're not broken just bent
Momentarily, we may be strained, but we're not completely shattered.

And we can learn to love again
Together, we can rediscover how to love.

It's in the stars
Our fate and destiny are predetermined.

It's been written in the scars on our hearts
Our past experiences and wounds have shaped our ability to love.

We're not broken just bent
Although we're damaged, we're still capable of resilience.

I'm sorry I don't understand where all of this is coming from
I apologize for not comprehending the source of your discontent.

I thought that we were fine
I believed that everything between us was going well.

(Oh, we had everything)
(Oh, we possessed everything we needed)

Your head is running wild again
Your thoughts and emotions are once again out of control.

My dear we still have everything
My beloved, we still possess all that is necessary for our relationship.

And it's all in your mind
The problems you perceive are solely within your thoughts.

(Yeah but this is happening)
(Yes, but this is the reality we're currently facing)

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You've been experiencing distressing nightmares lately.

You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
There was a time when you used to cuddle up closely to me.

There's nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love
Our love has become distant and impersonal, with nothing but empty space between us.

Oh, our love, our love
The love we once shared.

I never stopped
I never ceased to feel affection for you.

You're still written in the scars on my heart
The impact of our past together is still etched into my heart.

You're not broken just bent
You may be damaged, but you're not beyond repair.

And we can learn to love again
We have the ability to rediscover love once more.

Oh, tear ducts and rust, I'll fix it for us
Even though there are signs of deterioration and damage, I will repair our relationship.

We're collecting dust but our love's enough
Although our connection may have become stagnant, our love is sufficient to revive it.

You're holding it in, you're pouring a drink
You're suppressing your emotions, resorting to alcohol to cope.

No nothing is as bad as it seems
The situation isn't as dire as it appears.

We'll come clean
We'll be honest and transparent with each other.

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we have the ability to relearn how to love.

Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
Oh, oh, we're not completely shattered, just temporarily strained.

And we can learn to love again
And we can rediscover how to love once more.
