Just Give Me a Reason
Suy Descalsota 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
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 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, oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Line by Line Meaning
Right from the start
Since the beginning
You were a thief
You took my heart without permission
You stole my heart
You captured my heart
And I your willing victim
I surrendered willingly to you
I let you see the parts of me
I revealed my true self to you
That weren't all that pretty
Even the parts of me that weren't ideal
And with every touch you fixed them
You healed my broken pieces with every embrace
Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Lately, you talk unconsciously
Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Things you never utter in my presence
Tell me that you've had enough
You imply that you are tired
Of our love, our love
You are tired of our love
Just give me a reason
Just explain the reason
Just a little bit's enough
A small clue will suffice
Just a second we're not broken just bent
We're not broken, just temporary difficulties
And we can learn to love again
We can find love once more
It's in the stars
It's meant to happen
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
Our wounds tell the story
We're not broken just bent
We're not completely broken, just experiencing challenges
I'm sorry I don't understand
I apologize for my ignorance
Where all of this is coming from
I don't know the reason behind this
I thought that we were fine
I believed everything was perfect
(Oh, we had everything)
(We had all we needed)
Your head is running wild again
Your imagination is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
We still possess all we need
And it's all in your mind
It's all in your thoughts
(Yeah, but this is happenin')
(But this is presently occurring)
You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You've been having terrible nightmares recently
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
You would cuddle me all the time
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Our love life is nonexistent
Between our love, our love
Between our great affection for each other
Oh, our love, our love
Our great affection for each other
Oh, tear ducts and rust
Excessive crying and neglect
I'll fix it for us
I'll solve our difficulties
We're collecting dust
We've been neglected
But our love's enough
But our great affection for each other is sufficient
You're holding it in
You're hiding your feelings
You're pouring a drink
You're trying to suppress your emotions with alcohol
Nothin' is as bad as it seems
Things aren't as bad as they appear
We'll come clean
We'll be honest with each other
Oh, we can learn to love again
We can find love again
Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
That we're not completely broken, just temporarily problematic
And we can learn to love again
And we can find love again
