Head underwater
And they tell me
to breathe easy
for a while
But 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
'Cos you asked for it
'Cos you need one
You see
I'm not gonna write
you a love song
'Cos 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'm-a need a better
reason to write you
a love song today
Today, yea
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
Convince 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
'Cos you asked for it
'Cos you need one
You see
I'm not gonna write
you a love song
'Cos 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'm-a 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
'Cos I believe there's
a way you can love
me because I say
I won't write you
a love song
'Cos you asked for it
'Cos you need one
You see
I'm not gonna write
you a love song
'Cos you tell me it's
make or break in this
Is that why you
wanted a love song?
'Cos you asked for it
'Cos you need one
You see
I'm not gonna write
you a love song
'Cos 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... yea
