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 to Pink ft. Nate Ruess's song Just Give Me a Reason are about a couple who have hit a rough patch in their relationship. The singer is trying to get her partner to open up about what is bothering him, as he seems distant and disconnected. She is confused and hurt by his behavior and doesn't understand why he is acting this way. The chorus of the song repeats the plea for a reason why their love is failing, and the hope that they can learn to love again.


The opening lines of the song reflect the feelings of the singer as she describes how her partner stole her heart, and how she willingly gave in to him. She let him see parts of her that weren't perfect, but with every touch, he seemed to fix them. However, things have started to go wrong, and her partner has been talking in his sleep and saying things he never says when he is awake. He tells her that he has had enough of their love, which hurts her deeply.


The chorus of the song is a plea for an explanation and hope for the future, as the singer tries to make sense of what is happening in their relationship. The repeated lines, "just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough" show that the singer is willing to forgive and forget if only her partner would open up and tell her what is going on. The lines, "we're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again" offer hope that their love can be saved if they can just work through their problems and come together again.


Line by Line Meaning

Right from the start
From the very beginning


You were a thief, you stole my heart
You captured my heart and took it away


And I, your willing victim
I was willing to let you take it


I let you see the parts of me, that weren't all that pretty
I let you see the imperfect parts of me


And with every touch you fixed them
Your touch helped to heal those imperfections


Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
Recently, you've been talking in your sleep


Things you never say to me oh oh
You've been saying things to me while asleep that you've never mentioned when you're awake


Tell me that you've had enough
You're saying you've reached your limit


Of our love, our love
Of the love between us


Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
I just need one reason to believe in us, even a small one is enough


Just a second we're not broken just bent, and we can learn to love again
We're not completely broken, we still have a chance to fix our love and make it work


It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
Our love was destined and it shows in the marks it has left on us


I'm sorry I don't understand
I apologize for not comprehending


Where all of this is coming from
I'm not sure what sparked all of this


I thought that we were fine (oh we had everything)
I believed our relationship was great (we had everything)


Your head is running wild again
You're overthinking things again


My dear we still have everything
My dear, we still have all that matters


And it's all in your mind (yeah but this is happening)
It's all in your head (but it's still happening)


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


You used to lie so close to me oh oh
You used to sleep close to me


There's nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love
We're not physically close to each other and it's causing a rift in our relationship


Oh tear ducts and rust
Crying and deterioration


I'll fix it for us
I'll work to make our relationship better


We're collecting dust, but our love's enough
Our relationship is not active, but it's still strong enough to keep us together


You're holding it in
You're keeping everything bottled up inside


You're pouring a drink
You're turning to alcohol to cope


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


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


Oh we can learn to love again
We have the ability to work on and repair our love


That we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
Although we have our flaws, we're not beyond repair and can still make our love work

@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

It´s so sad that this comment gets less likes than these obnoxious like greedy comments. I hope you and your son have a wonderful life. <3
