Bruno Mars Grenade

“Grenade” is the second single from Bruno Mars’ debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans.

In an interview with Idolator, Bruno explained the backstory of how the song was created and what it meant for him to sing the song:

I was with my friend Benny Blanco (very well-known songwriter) and he was playing me some songs, and he played me this song that had a lyric like [the one in “Grenade”]… he said, this band is not signed, this is a CD that wasn’t released. I said to Benny, I can relate to that so much, I want to take that [song] and make it my own. He was in contact with the dude, and I started writing my version, basically. 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 as putting a bullet in my brain for you, and why can’t I get that kind of love in return?”

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Easy come, easy go, that’s just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all, but you never give
Shoulda known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open; why were they open? (Ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
(Ooh-ooh) You tossed it in the trash, you did
(Ooh-ooh) To give me all your love is all I ever ask
‘Cause what you don’t understand is I’d catch a

[Chorus]
Grenade for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) throw my hand on a
Blade for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) I’d jump in front of a
Train for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) you know I’d
Do anything for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) oh-oh-oh-oh
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby, but you won’t do the same

[Post-Chorus]
No, no, no, no, oh-oh-oh
Uh

[Verse 2]
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 (Ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
(Ooh-ooh) You tossed it in the trash; yes, you did
(Ooh-ooh) To give me all your love is all I ever ask
‘Cause what you don’t understand is I’d catch a

[Chorus]
Grenade for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) throw my hand on a
Blade for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) I’d jump in front of a
Train for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) you know I’d
Do anything for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) oh-oh-oh-oh
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby, but you won’t do the same

[Bridge]
(No) If my body was on fire
(No) Ooh, you’d watch me burn down in flames
(No) You said you loved me, you’re a liar
‘Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby
But, darlin’, I’d still catch a

[Chorus]
Grenade for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) throw my hand on a
Blade for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) I’d jump in front of a
Train for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) you know I’d
Do anything for ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah,) oh-oh-oh-oh
I would go through all this pain, ha
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby, but you won’t do the same

[Outro]
No, you won’t do the same
You wouldn’t do the same
Ooh, you’d never do the same
No, no, no, no, oh-oh-oh
