Lyrics
Easy come, easy go That's just how you live, oh Take, take, take it all But you never give

Should've known you was trouble From the first kiss Had your eyes wide open Why were they open?

Gave you all I had And you tossed it in the trash You tossed it in the trash, you did

To give me all your love Is all I ever asked 'cause What you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya Throw my hand on a blade for ya I'd jump in front of a train for ya You know I'd do anything for ya

Oh oh, I would go through all of this pain Take a bullet straight through my brain Yes, I would die for you, baby But you won't do the same

No, no no

Black, black, black and blue Beat me 'til I'm numb Tell the devil I said "hey" When you get back to where you're from

Mad woman, bad woman That's just what you are Yeah, you'll smile in my face Then rip the brakes out my car

Gave you all I had And you tossed it in the trash You tossed it in the trash, yes you did! To give me all your love

Is all I ever asked, 'cause What you don't understand is I'd catch a grenade for ya

Throw my hand on a blade for ya I'd jump in front of a train for ya You know I'd do anything for ya

Oh oh, I would go through all of this pain Take a bullet straight through my brain Yes, I would die for you, baby But you won't do the same

If my body was on fire Oh, you'd watch me burn down in flames You said you loved me, you're a liar 'Cause you never, ever, ever did baby

But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya Throw my hand on a blade for ya I'd jump in front of a train for ya You know I'd do anything for ya

Oh oh, I would go through all of this pain Take a bullet straight through my brain Yes, I would die for ya, baby But you won't do the same

No, you won't do the same You wouldn't do the same Oh, you'd never do the same Oh, no no no

Why this song?
I chose this song because I like Bruno Mars a lot. I know several songs from this artist and I think they are all quite good. I like the rhythm of it too as it is slow and simple. It's meaning is very clear from the beginning and you can tell that the words are really coming from inside. I think it is a beautiful song and it could be a real situation for any normal couple. It is a very strong way of expressing your feelings towards someone knowing you are not being loved by someone that you love too much. In the music video we see Bruno Mars dragging a piano all the way to her girlfriend's house to play a song for her and when he gets there he sees her with another man. It is an example of what he does for her but she doesn't give anything back.Of course, the music video is a bit exaggerated as a piano weighs a lot but it wants the viewers to get the message.

Meaning of the lyrics
The theme of the song is love. It talks about a relation where he loves her a lot and he would do anything for her but it seems that she is not the same. He gives her everything and doesn't feel he is getting it back. He says it was predictable from the first moment but he was too in love to think about it. He also says that he doesn't know the reason why she doesn't love him. He would do all these things for her, he would even die for her and he says she would watch him burn down in flames if his body would be on fire. Despite this, he keeps loving her and says he would still do all these beautiful things for her. He describes her as selfish and unthankful with the things he does for her and he considers she is not being grateful. He only asks for love and he has hope that she will react as his love towards her is incredibly strong. It even looks like he gives up at one point when he says,"Black,black,black and blue..."But he ends up saying he still loves her and would still do all those things for her.

I think it is a bit exaggerated as he says he would even die for her and do all these amazing and brave things but I also think that sometimes love makes you do crazy things. This song reflects a mix of love and anger or disappointment as he doesn't feel treated the way he thinks he should by someone who is very important to him and with who he has shared so many moments. It is a very honest and sincere way of saying something and I think this is because he feels that if he keeps it to himself things will go worse. They have reached a point that touches the extreme and he feels it is crucial to express his feelings. Also, by the tone of the voice we can hear that it is very difficult to say and explain and he is also having a hard time but if he does it, is means he knows what he is doing and how the other person will react. Sometimes it is better to say things than keeping them to yourself to make you fell relieved.
