Just Give Me A Reason by Pink featuring Nate Ruess

I first encountered this song from one of my team mates at work, Maney. She has a habit of playing a song she likes over and over and over again and we teased her about it. It was funny though that after having to listen to this song for a whole work Friday, Monday came and I actually looked for the song in youtube and gave it a listen.

The song has a great hook and is solidly built under Pink's and Nate Ruess's voice. 

I like how the song builds up to the 1st chorus and no longer let's up. And the lyrics, especially the chorus parts "just a little bit's enough and "we're not broken we're just bent". Simply it's magic.

I'm honestly glad that Pink's career has survived this long. I remember first seeing her in MTV back when i was in late high school or early college. That's a long time really. I just want to thank her and her collaborators for this song.







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

And 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
