What is the song grenade about?

Answer 1

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?

[Pre-Chorus:]

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

[Chorus:]

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)

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 smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car

[Pre-Chorus:]

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

[Chorus:]

I'd catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Throw my hand on the 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)

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

[Bridge:]

If my body was on fire

You would watch me burn down in flames

You said you loved me, you're a liar

Cause you never ever ever did, baby

[Chorus:]

But, darling, I'd still catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Throw my hand on the 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)

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

Ooh, you'd never do the same

Oh, no no no
