Bruno Mars - Grenade Lyrics

Bruno Mars Lyrics

"Grenade"

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 you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all 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, 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 you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all 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 you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, 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, oh

The second single off of Bruno Mars' debut album.

Bruno Mars explained the meaning of this song when he said, "It's a heartbreaking, heartbreak song, and I think everyone can relate to that. You're so in love with this woman and you don't understand: 'What am I doing wrong? What am I not giving to you? I'll go as far as putting a bullet in my brain for you, and why can't I get that kind of love in return?'"

The music video for this track features Bruno Mars dragging an upright piano through the streets of Los Angeles. It wasn't a trick, but a real heavy piano. Mars told MTV News, "Luckily, I've been doing about, you know, 800 to 967 push-ups every day, so it's not a big deal. I can handle it. Been workin' on my bi's, my tri's, my clies and my thighs, that's just what it is."

Fans started to throw fake grenades at Bruno Mars when he played "Grenade" live. He told UK newspaper, The Daily Star, "At first it was cute. Now it's beginning to spook my band out. With the stage lights on you can't see anything. It's dangerous and scares the shit out of me."

This single reached number one in fifteen different countries, and became his third number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100.
