    Love Song - Sara Bareilles

    Head under water
    And you tell me
    To breathe easy for awhile
    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 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 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
    Today..

    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 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
    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 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 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 walk the seven seas
    When I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song
    Today.
    Today..
