Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from P!nk:
Just Give Me A Reason
Length: 4:02
Release: 2013
Opening Lyrics:
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 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
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine (oh we had everything)
