《Just Give Me A Reason》

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

Oh I’ll 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, we can learn to love again

Oh oh, that we’re not broken just bent

And we can learn to love again
