Love Song | Sara Bareilles

I'm not gonna write you a love song.

Head underwater And they 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 onto

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 leavin' I'ma need a better reason To write you a love song today (Yeah) Today, yeah

I learned the hard way That they all say Things you wanna hear 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

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 leavin' I'ma 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 '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'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 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, (yeah) yeah
