BOYS
P!nk/Nate Ruess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh

That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything

You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong

I know better
'Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no

I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong

They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we

Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong and

That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes

It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory

You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling

My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you

My darling




Who knew

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Just Give Me a Reason" by P!nk and Nate Ruess paint a picture of a relationship that has fallen apart, leaving one partner longing for the other. The opening lines describe how the partner once showed the other how to love and promised to always be there for them. The song then takes a sad turn as the singer realizes that promises were broken and that the relationship is over.


The lyrics take on a reflective tone as the singer thinks back on their time together and wonders where it all went wrong. They lament that they were so convinced that they would be together forever and wishes they could go back in time to fix things. The chorus acknowledges that the heartache and sadness could have been avoided if only they had known that the love wouldn't last.


Towards the end of the song, the lyrics become more hopeful as they declare that the memories of the lost relationship will be cherished and even though they can't be together now, they will always hold onto the love that was shared. The final lines show that the partner who has been left behind is visited in their dreams by the one they miss so much.

Right from the start
You were a thief
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
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 everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah, but this is happenin')

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
There's 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, 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
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

"We're not broken, just bent..." This particular line really sticks out to me now. P!NK's concert was the last one that me and my ex wife seen before we were divorced. We were already separated at the time. When we were exchanging time with our son the feeling was always there. A few years later, 2016, she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She had passed away 8 months later in 2017 1 week before her birthday after our son wanted me to ask her if she wanted to go to the aquarium with us during my vacation time with him. I thank God that she accepted. It felt like nothing even happened the whole day, we were a family unit again... "not broken, just bent"
