Love Song

Lyrics

Head underwater and they tell me
 To breathe easy for a while
 The breathing gets harder, even I know that
 Made room for me, it's too soon to see
 If I'm happy in your hands
 I'm unusually hard to hold on to
 Blank stares at blank pages
 No easy way to say this
 You mean well, but you make this hard on me
 I'm not gonna write you a love song 'cause you asked for it
 'Cause you need one, you see
 I'm not gonna write you a love song 'cause you tell me it's
 Make or breakin' this
 If you're on your way
 I'm not gonna write you to stay
 All you have is leavin', I'ma need a better reason
 To write you a love song today
 (Yeah) today, yeah
 I learned the hard way that they all say
 Things you wanna hear
 And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you
 And your twisted words, your help just hurts
 You are not what I thought you were
 Hello to high and dry
 Convinced me to please you
 Made me think that I need this too
 I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
 I'm not gonna write you a love song
 'Cause you asked for it
 'Cause you need one, you see
 I'm not gonna write you a love song
 'Cause you tell me it's
 Make or breakin' this, if you're on your way
 I'm not gonna write you to stay
 If all you have is leavin', I'ma need a better reason
 To write you a love song today
 Promise me (ah-ah)
 That you'll leave the light on (ah-ah, ah)
 To help me see (ah-ah)
 Daylight, my guide, gone (ah-ah, ah)
 'Cause I believe there's a way (ah-ah)
 You can love me because I say
 I won't write you a love song 'cause you asked for it
 'Cause you need one, you see
 I'm not gonna write you a love song (ooh) 'cause you tell me it's
 Make or break in this, huh, is that why you wanted
 A love song? (Yeah) 'cause you asked for it
 'Cause you need one, you see
 I'm not gonna write you a love song (write you a love song)
 'Cause you tell me it's
 Make or breakin' this, if you're on your way
 I'm not gonna write you (I want you) to stay
 If your heart is nowhere in it, I don't want it for a minute
 Babe, I'll walk the seven seas (walk the seven seas)
 When I believe that there's a reason to write you (write you)
 A love song today
 Today (yeah), yeah
 
 Head underwater and they tell me
 To breathe easy for a while
 The breathing gets harder, even I know that
 Made room for me, it's too soon to see
 If I'm happy in your hands
 I'm unusually hard to hold on to
 Blank stares at blank pages
 No easy way to say this
 You mean well, but you make this hard on me
 I'm not gonna write you a love song 'cause you asked for it
 'Cause you need one, you see
 I'm not gonna write you a love song 'cause you tell me it's
 Make or breakin' this
 If you're on your way

 All you have is leavin', I'ma need a better reason
 To write you a love song today
