.: Just Give Me A Reason : P!nk & Nate Ruess :.

Just Give Me A Reason : P!nk & Nate Ruess
 
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
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

I just love this song, in every aspect.
Love that it is just in such a simple tune, with just a simple piano at the start and the beat of the drums (and perhaps a bass?) midway.
Love that the two voices harmonises so well to produce such lovely duet.
Love, especially, the lyrics to this song (which is written by the two), because, like so many things in life, nothing is completely certain.
In this song, the female version (by Pink) is deliberating if there is something not quite right with this relationship. Is she over thinking it? Is she reading too much into it?
As for the male version (by Nate - from Fun, if you can not already identify his unique voice) is convinced that there's nothing wrong, perhaps he's being oblivious? Or ignorant?
In the end, there's no clear conclusion.

Just listen to the song and let me know what you think.
