The song is about a couple who are going through difficulties in their relationship but want to work things out. It expresses that their love is enough to overcome what is challenging them, and though they are "bent" they are not truly "broken" and can learn to love again if they give each other a reason to try. The chorus repeats that just a little bit of effort from either person could be enough to reassure the other that the relationship is worth saving.
2. Right from the start you
were a thief
you stole my heart
and I your willing victim
3. I let you see the parts of me
that weren´t all that pretty
and with every touch you fixed
them
4. 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
5. 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
6. 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
7. i am sorry i don´t understand
where all of this is coming from
i thought that we were fine
(oh we had it all)
8. your head is running wild again
my dear we still have everything
and it´s all in your mind.
(yeah but this is happening)
9. you´ve been having real bad dreams, uh oh
you used to lie so close to me, oh oh
there is nothing more than empty sheets
between our love, our love,
oh our love, our love
10. 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
11. you´re still written in the scars on
my heart
you´re not broken just bent
and we can learn to love again
12. oh tears 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
