Just Give Me a Reason
Glennis Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
tell me that you´ve had enough
of our love, our 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
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 am sorry i don´t understand
where all of this is coming from
i thought that we were fine
(oh we had it all)
your head is running wild again
my dear we still have everything
and it´s all in your mind.
(yeah but this is happening)
you´ve been having real bad dreams, uh oh
you used to lie so close to me, oh oh
there is nothing more than empty sheets
between our love, our love,
oh our love, our 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 stopped
you´re still written in the scars on my heart
you´re not broken just bent
and we can learn to love again
oh tears 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
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
we´re not broken just bent
and we can learn to love again
oh we can learn to love again (X2)
that we´re not broken just bent
and we can learn to love again
Just give me a reason
Glennis Grace's song "Just Give Me a Reason" is a powerful ballad about the struggles of a relationship and the hope for love and understanding. From the outset, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and intimacy – the singer acknowledges that her lover "stole [her] heart" and that she willingly gave it to him. She trusted him enough to show him the parts of herself that weren't "pretty," and he helped her to heal.
However, things have taken a turn for the worse, and the couple is failing to communicate effectively. The partner is talking in their sleep, revealing things they never say when they're awake, and the singer is trying to understand why they seem to be pulling away. She assures him that they "had it all" and that their relationship is still intact, but he is struggling with bad dreams and feelings of emptiness.
Despite this, the singer remains hopeful. She believes that their love is "written in the scars on [their] hearts" and that they are not "broken, just bent." She asks her partner to give her a reason to keep fighting for their relationship, just a little bit more effort. With determination and a willingness to work together, they can "learn to love again."
Overall, "Just Give Me a Reason" captures the heartache and hope of a relationship in trouble. Its soaring vocals and emotional lyrics make for a powerful anthem of persistence in the face of adversity.

Right from the start you were a thief
You stole my heart from the beginning
you stole my heart
You took my heart away from me
and I your willing victim
I surrendered to you willingly
I let you see the parts of me that weren't all that pretty
I showed you my flaws and imperfections
and with every touch you fixed them
Your touch made me feel better about myself
now you've been talking in your sleep, oh oh
You've been revealing things in your sleep that you never say to me when you're awake
things you never say to me, oh oh
You keep your deepest thoughts and feelings hidden from me
tell me that you've had enough of our love, our love
You're saying that you're tired of our relationship
just give me a reason
Please give me a good enough explanation for why you're feeling this way
just a little bit's enough
Even a small explanation would suffice
just a second we're not broken
Our relationship is still worth fighting for and fixing, we're not beyond repair yet
just bent and we can learn to love again
Although we've been hurt, we can still heal and rekindle our love
it's in the stars
Destiny has brought us together
it's been written in the scars on our hearts
Our past experiences and memories have left an indelible mark on our hearts
i am sorry i don't understand where all of this is coming from
I'm confused about why you suddenly feel this way and I'm sorry that I can't seem to figure it out
i thought that we were fine (oh we had it all)
I believed everything was going well in our relationship (we had everything we needed)
your head is running wild again
Your thoughts are once again out of control
my dear we still have everything and it's all in your mind.
We still have our love and all these problems are just in your head
yeah but this is happening
But your feelings and emotions are still very real
you've been having real bad dreams, uh oh
You've been having nightmares recently
you used to lie so close to me, oh oh
We were once so close emotionally and physically
there is nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love, oh our love, our love
We seem to have lost the intimacy and passion that used to exist between us
i never stopped
My love for you has never faded
you're still written in the scars on my heart
You still hold a special place in my heart despite everything
oh tears ducts and rust
Our relationship has been through its fair share of tears and hardships
i'll fix it for us
I'm willing to put in the effort to make this work for the both of us
we're collecting dust but our love's enough
Our love may be neglected and forgotten, but it's still strong enough to overcome all obstacles
you're holding it in, you're pouring a drink
You're bottling up your emotions and trying to cope by drinking alcohol
no nothing is as bad as it seems
Things aren't as hopeless as they may appear
we'll come clean
We'll be honest with each other and put everything out in the open
oh we can learn to love again (X2)
We have the ability to rediscover the love and connection we once had
that we're not broken just bent
Although we've been hurt, we're not completely destroyed
