Just Give Me a Reason
Jess Moskaluke 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 out Love, our Love.
Just give me a reason,
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent we can learn to LOVE again.
Oh, it's in the stars,
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're NOT broken
Just bent we can learn to love again.
I'm sorry I don't understand where
All of these is coming from.
I thought that we were fine,
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear, WE still have everything
And it's all in your MIND.
(Yeah, but this is happenin')
You've been having real bad dreams
Oh oh, used to lie so close to me
Oh oh, there's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oooh, our love, our love.
Just give me a reason,
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken
Just bent we can learn to LOVE again.
Oh, I never stopped
It's 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.
Oh, it's in the stars
It's still 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.
Oh, it's in the stars
It's still written in the scars on our hearts
We're NOT broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again.
Ooh, we can learn to love again
Ooh, we can learn to love again
Oh, that we're not broken
Just bent and we can learn to love again.
The lyrics of Jess Moskaluke's "Just Give Me a Reason" portray a plea to a partner to open up and explain their change in attitude towards the relationship. The first verse confesses that the singer gave their heart to the partner, despite some perceived imperfection within themselves. The partner was able to make them feel secure and comfortable despite those insecurities. However, the second verse hints at issues that arose when the partner started having bad dreams and expressing doubts about the relationship. The chorus is an appeal for communication to save the bond they once shared. The third verse talks about how the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to fix the relationship while also acknowledging that nothing is as bad as it initially seems.
The song appears to be about a couple struggling through a rough patch, as the title suggests, trying to find a way to reconnect despite identifying how they have grown apart. It is possible that the song was inspired by a personal relationship, but it could also be interpreted more generally as a universal story of two people trying to fix their bond when it has been damaged. The lyrics are relatable and heartfelt, making it easy for listeners to connect emotionally.

Right from the start, you were a thief,
You took my heart from the beginning.
You stole my heart and I your willing victim
I let you take it willingly
I let you see the parts of me that weren't all that pretty.
I showed you the not-so-great sides of me.
And with every touch you fixed them.
Your love mended my flaws.
Now, you've been talking in your sleep
You're saying things to me in your dreams
Oh oh, things you never say to me
Words you've never spoken before
Oh oh, tell me that you've had enough
You're at the end of the line.
Of our love, our love.
Of the relationship we've built.

Oh, it's in the stars it's been written in the scars on our hearts
Our fate is tied and written in the damage we've done to our love.

I thought that we were fine (Oh, we had everything)
I believed everything was okay.
Your head is running wild again my dear, we still have everything
Your thoughts ran away and I want you to know we have it all.
And it's all in your mind (yeah, but this is happening)
It's only happening because you are allowing it to happen in your thoughts.
You've been having real bad dreams
You've been having nightmares.
Oh oh, used to lie so close to me
You used to hold me close.
Oh oh, there's nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love

We're collecting dust, but our love's enough
Our love hasn't been nourished, but it can survive on what we have.
You're holding it in, you're pouring a drink
You're keeping your feelings inside, trying to mask your pain with alcohol.
No, nothing is as bad as it seems.
Things aren't as dire as they appear.
We'll come clean!!
Let's be honest about what we are feeling.
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
