Bruno Mars(브루노 마스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take, take, take it all, but you never give
Should have known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
What you don't understand is I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah)
Oh oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue
Beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said 'hey' when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman
That's just what you are
Yeah you'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah)
Oh oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya baby
But you won't do the same
If my body was on fire
Oh you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you're a liar 'cause you never
Ever, ever did baby
But darling I'll still catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah)
Oh oh I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya baby
But you won't do the same
No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Oh, you'll never do the same
No, no, no, no
The song "Grenade" by Bruno Mars is a heart-wrenching ballad about unrequited love and the painful realization that the person you would do anything for is not willing to reciprocate that same level of commitment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one person is constantly taking while the other gives everything they have without any regard for their own well-being. The lines "Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live" and "Take, take, take it all, but you never give" show the one-sided nature of the relationship. The singer of the song is desperately hoping that their love interest will finally see how much they're willing to sacrifice for them, but ultimately realizes that they never will.
The chorus of "Grenade" contains the most poignant lines of the song, where Bruno Mars croons "What you don't understand is I'd catch a grenade for ya/Throw my hand on a blade for ya/I'd jump in front of a train for ya/You know I'd do anything for ya." These lyrics show the depth of the singer's love, and also the futility of it all. They are willing to sacrifice their own life for their love interest, but that love is not returned. The singer knows that they're being used, but they're unable to let go because they're so enamored with this person.
Overall, "Grenade" is a powerful song that showcases Bruno Mars' vocal range and ability to tap into raw emotions. The song has resonated with listeners around the world, and has become one of Mars' most popular tracks.

@reeapeerr
Such a weird feeling when you've been together with someone so long and you actually hold them in your heart but then they...just become someone else. What to feel? Anger? Sadness? fuck.

Happiness. That’s what you should feel, even though it’s easier said than done. We’ve all been there, and it all takes time. Just be happy whatever happened, happened.
