Just Give Me a Reason
Minipop Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Right from the start
You were a thief you stole my heart
And I your willing person
I let you see the parts of me
That weren′t all that pretty
And with every talk you fixed them
Now you've been talking out to me
Oh, oh
Things you never say to me
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′m sorry I don't understand where all of this 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 happening
You've been having real bad dreams
Oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me
Oh, oh
There′s nothing more than empty dreams
Between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love, no
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, fix it for us
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
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, oh we can learn to love again




Oh, oh we can learn to love again
Oh, oh we′re not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
