Million Reasons
Lady Gaga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're giving me a million reasons to let you go
You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You're givin' me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
If you could find a dry way, I'd forever be still
But you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It's like that I've stopped breathing, but completely aware
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

And if you say something that you might even mean
It's hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Oh baby, I'm bleedin', bleedin'
Stay
Can't you give me what I'm needin', needin'
Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith
But baby, I just need one good one
Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one

When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one, good one




Tell me that you'll be the good one, good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay

Overall Meaning

Lady Gaga's song A Million Reasons is a touching ballad that reflects the uncertainty and struggle of a relationship that could go either wrong or right. The song begins with the singer discussing how she's being given a million reasons to let her significant other go, but she keeps holding on to that one good reason to stay. The following lines discuss how, if given the chance to escape the relationship, she would run away from it and be still. However, the person keeps giving her a million reasons to stay, leaving her indecisive and conflicted.


As the song progresses, the artist mentions her spiritual side, confessing that she relies on prayer to guide her through the tough decision. Later in the song, she pleads for her significant other to give her one good reason to stay, expressing desperation and vulnerability as she opens up about emotional pain caused by past heartbreaks and the need for someone to support and believe in her.


The song's powerful lyrics and Gaga's emotional delivery of it reflect the rawness and realness in relationships and the internal confusion and fear that comes with it. It's a song that many people can relate to, especially those who have been in a difficult relationship.
