Love Song

Verse 1

 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

Pre-Chorus

 Blank stares at blank pages

 No easy way to say this

 You mean well, but you make this hard on me

Chorus

 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 leavin', I'ma need a better reason

 To write you a love song today

 (Yeah) Today, yeah

Verse 2

 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

Pre-Chorus

 Convinced me to please you

 Made me think that I need this too

 I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

Chorus

 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 leavin', I'ma need a better reason

 To write you a love song today

Bridge

 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...

Chorus

 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 break in 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
