Give Me a Reason
Nicole Cross Lyrics

Right from the start
From the very beginning

You were a thief, you stole my heart
You captured my heart and held it captive

And I, your willing victim
I was willing to be taken by you

I let you see the parts of me
I allowed you to see the sides of me

That weren't all that pretty
That were not the most attractive

And with every touch
Each touch from you

You fixed them
Helped to make those parts better

Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
You have been speaking in your sleep recently

Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Words you never speak to me

Tell me that you've had enough
Inform me that you have reached your limit

Of our love
Of our relationship

Just give me a reason
Give me one reason

Just a little bit's enough
Even a small amount will be sufficient

Just a second, we're not broken, just bent
We are not shattered, just damaged

And we can learn to love again
And we can fall in love once more

It's in the stars
It is fate

It's been written in the scars on our hearts
It has been recorded on our hearts' scars

We're not broken, just bent
We are not destroyed, just damaged

I'm sorry, I don't understand
Apology for not comprehending

Where all of this is coming from
What the source of all this is

I thought that we were fine (oh, we had everything)
I believed that everything was okay (we had it all)

Your head is running wild again
Your thoughts are scattered again

My dear, we still have everythin'
My love, we still have all that we need

And it's all in your mind (yeah, but this is happenin')
And it's all only in your mind (but this is occurring)

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You have been experiencing terrible dreams recently

You used to lie so close to me oh oh
You used to sleep right beside me

There's nothing more than empty sheets
There is nothing in the bed except sheets

Between our love, our love
In the context of our relationship

Oh, our love, our love
Oh, our relationship, our relationship

Oh, tear ducts and rust
Oh, tears and rust

I'll fix it for us
I will repair everything for us

We're collecting dust
We are becoming dusty

But our love's enough
But we have enough love

You're holding it in
You're keeping emotions in

You're pouring a drink
You're pouring yourself a drink

No, nothing is bad as it seems
Nothing is as terrible as it appears

We'll come clean
We will be truthful with each other

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we could fall in love once more

Oh, that we're not broken, just bent
Oh, we are not shattered, just damaged
