Here are the lyrics!!!
Anyways, I am going to analyze the song "Just Give Me A Reason" by P!nk and so... yep!!
Assonance is shown in the words, start, were, thief, stole, heart, parts, talking, and many other words. By calling the guy a "thief who stole my heart" she's implying that hers isn't out for the taking and it says how good looking and apparently how great he is because if you say that he won her heart its like he tried but by stealing it, it was unexpected and therefore better, really.
Then P!nk goes on to talk about how the guy is talking in his sleep about things he'd never tell her in person and by repeating our love at the end of the phrase, its like saying that its theirs and its important to at least her and by not telling her this stuff its making her feel questioned about their love.
Then the guy sings. By adding a new voice, its making it seem like a clam argument kind of because he starts out with how he doesn't know where all of this doubt and accusation is coming from and he tells her that "its all in your mind" so its like saying that she shouldn't doubt him and that everything is fine and that nothing bad is wrong with their relationship.
The chorus, the second time, has both of them singing and the two paragraphs are like both sides of the argument-- one asking him to give her a reason about all the talking and one of him telling her that they can get through this just fine.
By the end, with all the back and forth its like they have figured out the problem and are going to fix it.
The chorus is iambic but the meter itself changes on the line.
Written in the scars on our hearts, and in the stars is a metaphor saying how the two are meant to be together.
that's all I got... I am so confused...

Did I do this right??

Good job telling what the song meant, but I think that we were also supposed to tell about the meters and the patterns in to song also. Other than that, good job!
