Just Give Me A Reason
Pink feat. Nate Ruess 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 (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, can learn to love again
Oh, that we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pink's "Just Give Me a Reason" speak of a relationship that is struggling to survive, but the two people involved are not broken and can learn to love again. The opening lines describe the initial attraction and trust between the two individuals, with Pink's character letting her guard down and showing the vulnerabilities and imperfections of who she is. However, the relationship has suffered and the other person is now having doubts about their love. But Pink pleads for a reason to fix things, even if it's just a small gesture or a sliver of hope.


In the second verse, Pink tries to understand where the issues are coming from because she believed everything was okay. The other person's mind is consumed with negative thoughts, which Pink must reassure are unfounded. The bridge focuses on the hurdles that need to be overcome but reassures of the love that remains despite the neglect. Pink uses imagery to paint the picture of a relationship that has been neglected, collecting dust, but still has the potential to survive. The final chorus is a plea for love to be restored, with the hope that both parties can learn to love again.


Line by Line Meaning

Right from the start
From the very beginning of our relationship


You were a thief, you stole my heart
You captured my heart and I fell in love with you


And I, your willing victim
I surrendered to your charm and love


I let you see the parts of me, that weren't all that pretty
I showed you my flaws, my weaknesses, my imperfections


And with every touch you fixed them
You healed my wounds, you made me feel whole again


Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
You've been revealing your true feelings and thoughts involuntarily


Things you never say to me oh oh
You keep some things hidden from me, even though we are close


Tell me that you've had enough
You want to give up on our love, you feel tired and frustrated


Of our love, our love
The love that we share, the bond that connects us


Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Please give me a valid reason to keep our love alive, even a small one would suffice


Just a second we're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again
Although we are going through a rough patch, we are not beyond repair and we can regain our love


It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
Our destiny is intertwined, our past experiences have left a mark on our hearts


I'm sorry I don't understand
I'm confused and unsure about what's happening


Where all of this is coming from
What's causing you to doubt our love and push me away


I thought that we were fine (oh we had everything)
I believed that our relationship was going well and we had everything we needed


Your head is running wild again
You are overthinking and letting your fears and anxieties take over


My dear we still have everythin'
We still have each other, our love, our memories, our dreams


And it's all in your mind (yeah but this is happenin')
Your doubts and worries are not based on reality, but they are affecting our relationship


You've been havin' real bad dreams oh oh
You've been tormented by nightmares and negative thoughts


You used to lie so close to me oh oh
We used to enjoy each other's company and intimacy


There's nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love
Our love has lost its spark and passion, leaving us feeling lonely and distant


Oh our love, our love
The love that we share, the bond that connects us


Oh tear ducts and rust
Our tears and fears are corroding our relationship


I'll fix it for us
I'll do my best to repair our relationship and make it work


We're collecting dust, but our love's enough
We've neglected our love, but it's still strong and enduring


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


You're pouring a drink
You're trying to drown your sorrows and forget your troubles


No nothing is as bad as it seems
Things may seem bleak and hopeless, but there's always a way out


We'll come clean
We'll be honest and open with each other, we'll confront our issues and resolve them


Oh we can learn to love again
We can revive our love and make it flourish once more


Oh that we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
Although we've been through tough times, we are still together and we can work on our love

"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"
