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 breakin' this if you're on your way

I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin'
I'm gonna need a better reason
To write you a love song today, hey, hey, hey
Today, hey, hey, hey

I learnt the hard way that they all say the things you wanna hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you
And your twisted words, your help just hurts
You are not who 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 breakin' this if you're on your way

I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin'
I'm gonna 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 the daylight, my guide gone
'Cause I believe there's a way
You can love me because I say

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 breakin' this

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 breakin' 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
Baby, I'll walk the seven seas if you believe that there's a reason
To write you a love song today, hey, hey, hey, today
Today, hey, hey, hey, today
