Song : Just Give Me A Reason sung by P!nk and Nate Ruess

Chapter 13: The French Invasion

Mercedes brought me to the stage with the insistence of Felicity.

"So, Ladies choice." I said motioning her to the computer where the songs were to be input.

She thought for a moment then input a song. "I found a perfect song to impress your girl friend."

"she's not..."

"I know." Mercedes said. "Let's do this, Warbler."

We stood on the stage and Mercedes had yet to tell me the song title. I was afraid I might not know the song. I mean I was in a show choir but that didn't mean I know the top forty of every month. It was a relief when the speakers started to play a familiar song. Mercedes started to sing the first chorus. Her phenomenal voice echoed through the whole karaoke place.

Right from the start
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 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
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

I sang the second chorus in hope not to be left in the dust with her talent. I may not be a famous platinum singer, but this is my home town.

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah, but this is happenin')

You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets (There's nothing more than empty sheets)
Between our love, our love (Between our love, our love)
Oh, our love, our love (Oh, our love, our love)

Our friends started to cheer and both Mercedes and I smiled as we sang the chorus together.

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
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, tear 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
We'll come clean

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
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
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
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
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
