P!nk ft. Nate Russ 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 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

P!nk ft. Nate Reuss's song Just Give Me A Reason tells the story of a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. Right from the start, the singer knew that the love interest was a thief who stole her heart, and she willingly gave in to him. She let him see the parts of herself that weren't pretty, and with every touch, he fixed them. But now, he's been talking in his sleep, saying things that he's never said to her before, and telling her that he's had enough of their love. She pleads with him to just give her a reason to stay, even just a little bit of hope.


The chorus of the song is a reassuring reminder that even though they may be "broken just bent," they can learn to love again. The scars on their hearts are reminders of the love they once had, and with time, they can fix what's broken and come clean to each other. The lyrics about "tear ducts rusting" and "collecting dust" show that their relationship has been stagnant and needs to be revived.


Overall, Just Give Me A Reason is a story of hope and second chances in love. It's about learning to forgive and forget, and most importantly, learning to love again.

@bored7065

The problem with people like me is that we care too much.

We break our hearts into pieces and give them away, until they are all gone. And we try to live with the broken hearts and broken souls we are left with. We sacrifice our own happiness to make others smile. But in the process we lose ourselves.

We extinguish the sparks in our eyes and the fire in our bellies in order to fuel the dreams of others.

We are the people who laugh at the end of every sentence and place a smiley face at the end of every text, to make sure our friends don't think we are mad when we say "I need to go." we are the people with loud thoughts and quiet voices, refusing to speak our minds at the fear of hurting another's feelings. We are the people who would give our own life to save a stranger.

"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"

God bless
