Just Give Me a Reason
Pink · 2012
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- 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
Echo the hook
- 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
