Love Song

Head under water

And they tell me

To breathe easy for a while

The breathing gets harder

Even I know that

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 break in this

If you're on your way

I'm not gonna write you to stay

If all you have is leaving

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 break in this

If you're on your way

I'm not gonna write you to stay

If all you have is leaving

I'ma 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 a 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 break in 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 break in 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, yeah
