I absolutely love the lyrics to this Average Joe song, FFS. The words sum up past relationships. I saw them last year and was blown away by the lyrics of this and many other of their songs.

Lyrics

FFS

Give me a reason to love, you, girl
Give me a reason to love, you, girl

Fuck sake

Fuck it I’ve had enough
Waiting for this dumb bitch to come
I’m taking the risk and moving on
She’s taking the piss and I’m not having none of it
I’m sick of this shit
The quicker I split
The quicker I’ll get exactly what I want
Which is someone to love and to be loved but until then to save myself I’m gone
Got to get off
Just cut it off
The water’s rising up
Don’t want to get stuck
Take yourself up
Dust those shoulders off, yeah I’m the boss
If you can’t see it, you can fuck off
I’m counting down, you’re on the clock
You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
I’ve learnt that lesson and I’m moving on
You were the one
I guess I was wrong

Show me a reason to love ‘cus the fire in my heart is fading fast
It’s oh so sad, burnt out and turned to ash
Show me a reason to love ‘cus the fire in my heart is growing small
I’m getting colder you’ll feel no warmth from me no more

Soon as I leave her alone
Low and behold bleep goes my phone
She throws me a bone and tells me she’s lonely
I start thinking if only it were true
If only she knew what I’d been going through
You haven’t a clue how hard it’s been for me
Not to talk to you
Don’t take me for a fool
Telling me we’ll be fine
We just need some time to think
Well I’m on the brink
Well think about this
Before you winge I was clinging on, frozen and you let me sink
Every day I’ve been yearning but turning that hurt into something that’s working and learning, that nothing’s determined, I’m dead set and certain
Buried my demons and dug up my virtues
Unreserved in my worthiness
A damn near perfect phoenix burning

Show me a reason to love ‘cus the fire in my heart is fading fast
It’s oh so sad, burnt out and turned to ash
Show me a reason to love ‘cus the fire in my heart is growing small
I’m getting colder you’ll feel no warmth from me no more

Show me a reason to love ‘cus the fire in my heart is fading fast
It’s oh so sad, burnt out and turned to ash
Show me a reason to love ‘cus the fire in my heart is growing small
I’m getting colder you’ll feel no warmth from me no more

Show me a reason to love, you, girl

Show me

Give me that reason to love, you, girl

Give me that reason to love, you, girl

Give me
A reason
To love
You, girl
