Love Song

Head under water

And you 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 breaking 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



I learn the hard way

That they all say

Things you wanna hear

My heavy heart

Sinks deep down under you

And you 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'ma need a better reason

To write you a love song today



Promise me

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 breaking this

Is that why you wanted a love song

Cause you asked for it

Cause you need one

You see



I won't write you a love song

Cause you tell me it's

Make or breaking this

If you're on your way

I won't write you to stay

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
