Head under water and
they tell me to breathe
easy for a while
the breathing gets harder,
even I know that
you made room for me
but 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 breaking this
if you're on your way
I'm not gonna
write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'm gonna need a better
reason to write you
a love song today today
I learned the hard way
that they all say
things you want to 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 breaking this
if you're on your way
I'm not gonna
write you to stay
If all you have is leaving
I'm gonna need a better
reason to write you
a love song today
Promise me that you'll
leave the light on
to help me see
with daylight,
my guide, gone
'cause I believe
there's way 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
'cause you tell me it's
make or breaking this
is that why you
wanted 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 breaking this
if you're on your way
I'm not gonna write
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
when I believe that
there's a reason to
write you a love song
today today
