Love Song Lyrics by Sara Bareilles

Head under water and they tell meTo breathe easy for awhileThe breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me, it's too soon to seeIf I'm happy in your handsI'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pagesNo easy way to say thisYou mean wellBut you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song'Cause you ask 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 thisIf you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stayAll you have is leavingI'm gon' need a better reasonTo write you a love song today, today
I learned the hard way that they all sayThings you wanna hearMy heavy heart sinks deep down under
You and your twisted wordsYour help just hurtsYou are not what I thought you wereHello to high and dry
Convinced me to please youMade me think that I need this tooI'm trying to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song'Cause you ask 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 thisIf you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stayIf all you have is leavingI'ma need a better reasonTo write you a love song today
Promise me you'll leave the light onTo help me see daylight, my guide, gone'Cause I believe there's a wayYou can love me because I say
I won't write you a love song'Cause you ask 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 thisIf you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stayIf your heart is nowhere in itI don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seasWhen I believe that there's a reasonTo write you a love song today, today
