Just Give Me a Reason
P!nk (feat. Nate Ruess) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 stop, 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
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 that we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
In “Just Give Me a Reason,” P!nk and Nate Ruess sing about a couple trying to heal their fractured relationship. The song portrays the agony of betrayal and the hope that comes with the possibility of reconciliation. The first verse talks about how the couple got together, with P!nk admitting that she was a “willing victim” when her partner stole her heart. The second verse is about the cracks that have started to appear in their relationship. P!nk is confused and hurt by her partner’s behavior while her partner feels like there’s something lacking in their relationship. The chorus says that the couple isn’t “broken just bent” and they can still learn to love again. They just need a reason to hold on and fight for their love.
The lyrics are very emotional and relatable, especially for those who have gone through a rocky relationship. The song talks about how love can be painful and unpredictable, but it’s also resilient and can heal even the deepest wounds. The “tear ducts and rust” line is particularly poignant, as it represents the pain and damage caused by the couple’s fights and misunderstandings. However, the overall message of the song is one of hope and optimism, as it suggests that with patience and understanding, even the most damaged relationship can be restored.

"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"
