«Today, I get to share with you the visual companion piece to my new single, Grenade. The song is about loving someone so deeply, and the pain of knowing that the person you love does not feel the same. The actions in this video serve as a metaphor, and should not be taken literally. I am aware of the power of visual media, and I encourage everyone who watches this video to understand that it is an artistic interpretation of the song, and not something to imitate.» — Bruno Mars
LYRICS
Easy come, easy go, thats just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
Shouldve 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 dont understand is
Id catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
Id jump in front of a train for ya
You know Id do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you wont do the same
No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue, beat me til Im numb
Tell the devil I said, hey, when you get back to where youre from
Mad women, bad women, thats just what you are, yeah
Youll 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 dont understand is
Id catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
Id jump in front of a train for ya
You know Id do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you wont do the same
If my body was on fire
Ooh, youd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, youre a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby
But darling, Id still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
Id jump in front of a train for ya
You know Id do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you wont do the same
No, you wont do the same
You wouldnt do the same
Ooh, you never do the same
No, no, no, no
