Even though men and women( or people) think different you make it work when your in love with someone." Just Give Me a Reason" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Pink, featuring Fun's lead singer Nate Ruess. He finally gets through to her that it's ok for a relationship to change cause their growing together. (tear ducts and rust) He's telling her he's going to be ther no matter what. She's been hurt in the past and the relationship is changing ,she feels like she's doing something wrong. they sing our love twice one low tone th other screaming " ( nothing between us but empty sheets)He's trying to tell her he loves her on every level. He's telling her he never stopped loveing her and the passion is still there. (your head is going wild AGAIN) He's telling her, her insecurities are pushing them apart. She's thinking about the honeymoon phase when they were inseparable.
He loves her and thinks everything's going good. He doesn't know what she's talking about.
But she "feels" something is wrong."he's been talking in his sleep" Shes trying to get him to admit his feelings has changed because they've been through hell and back."scars on their hearts" Their relationship isn't perfect. (every touch you fixed them) Even though he "fixed"her, She still has "issues" she doesn't totally trust the relationship is solid.She's scared, spazzing out, and over thinking everything. Their relationship was not only romantic love(sex) but he was her friend as well. They met and he immediately won her over. It's about dealing with a changing relationship. When you dont have to talk to them 1000x a day anymore. They're out the honeymoon phase and are at when everything gets confusing and weird. because there's still hope, and love, we're not broken, just bent. and we had a very beautiful relationship now that I see it, I've forgotten yes, I almost gave up. I've been with my girlfriend for almost 6 years now. I can fully relate to this song, it gave me hope with my relationship. they are not broken, their love's just bent, it can come back again, you can fall in love again with the same person all over again. but the other person's willing to fix it, bring it back from rust to new. the love's just hidden and forgotten because of everything that has been happening, their mind has ruled over their heart.
I think it means that there will come a time that you'll fall out of love in the relationship, like here, the other person thinks they should let their love go because of it, but the second person thinks that if there's still love even a bit of it, (we're collecting dust but our love's enough) they can still regain what they had lost, because their love is worth it, after all they have been through.
