Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 can 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

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

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again




Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Overall Meaning

The song "Just Give Me a Reason" by P!nk ft. Nate Ruess is a heart-wrenching duet about a failing relationship. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, with P!nk singing about being a victim of a thief that stole her heart right from the start. She let this person see the parts of her that were not pretty, and they fixed them with every touch. However, things have changed, and the person has started talking in their sleep about things they never say to P!nk. They have had enough of their love, and P!nk can feel it slipping away.


The chorus of the song is a plea for the person to give just a little bit of a reason to hold onto the relationship, to stay together and learn to love again. The idea that they are not broken, just bent, is a powerful metaphor for their love. It has been written in the scars on their hearts, and P!nk believes they can come back from this. The bridge of the song echoes this sentiment, with P!nk promising to fix things for them, even if it requires some hard work.


Overall, the song is an emotional appeal to someone P!nk still loves, even as they seem to be slipping away. She wants to hold onto the relationship for just a little longer, to learn to love again and prove that they are not broken, just bent.


Line by Line Meaning

Right from the start
Since the beginning of our relationship


You were a thief
You stole my heart


And I your willing victim
And I was willing to surrender to your love


I let you see the parts of me
I opened up to you and showed you the vulnerable parts of myself


That weren't all that pretty
Despite my flaws and imperfections


And with every touch you fixed them
You helped heal and improve me with your love and affection


Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Lately, you've been saying things to me unconsciously.


Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Things you have never told me


Tell me that you've had enough
You said you can't take it anymore


Of our love, our love
Of our relationship


Just give me a reason
Give me a valid explanation


Just a little bit's enough
Just a small reason would suffice


Just a second we're not broken just bent
Our relationship is not completely damaged, just damaged slightly


And we can learn to love again
And we can regain our love for each other


It's in the stars
It's meant to be


It's been written in the scars on our hearts
Our painful past experiences have left imprints of love that can be rekindled


I'm sorry I don't understand
I apologize for not comprehending your sudden change in behavior


Where all of this is coming from
I don't know why this is happening to us


I thought that we were fine
I believed that our relationship was doing well


Your head is running wild again
You are overthinking things again


My dear we still have everything
We still have each other and everything we built together


And it's all in your mind
Your doubts and fears are unfounded


You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You've been having nightmares


You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
We used to be physically and emotionally close


There's nothing more than empty sheets
Now, our relationship feels empty and devoid of meaning


Between our love, our love
Between us as partners


Oh, our love, our love
Our relationship


Oh, tear ducts can rust
Our tears have dried up and we've become emotionally distant


I'll fix it for us
I'll work on mending our relationship


We're collecting dust
Our relationship has become stale


But our love's enough
But our love is still strong enough to work through our problems


You're holding it in
You're keeping your true feelings bottled up inside


You're pouring a drink
You're trying to drown your sorrows with alcohol


No nothing is as bad as it seems
Things aren't as terrible as they appear


We'll come clean
We'll be honest with each other


Oh, we can learn to love again
We have the capacity to rediscover our love for each other even after going through difficult times

"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"
