"Love Song" by Sara Bareilles
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 [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
'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 leaving I'm gonna need a better reason to write you] a love song/ today (today)
I learned the hard way
That they all say/ things you want to hear
My heavy heart/ sinks deep - down - un-der - you -
And your 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 breakin’ this
If you're on your way
[I'm not gonna write you] to stay
[If all you have is leaving I'm gonna 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 breakin’ 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 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
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to write you] a love song/ today (today)
And you tell me/ to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I - know - that -
Made room for me [but it's too soon to see]
