Love Song

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Blank stares at blank pages

No easy way to say this

You mean well but you make this hard on me

[Chorus]

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

Hey hey hey, today!

Hey hey hey, today!

[Verse 2]

I learned 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 what I thought you were

Hello to high and dry

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Convinced me to please you

Made me think that I need this too

I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Promise me

That you'll leave the light on

To help me see

With daylight my guide gone

Cause I believe

That there's a way

You can love me

Because I say

[Outro]

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 what 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

If you'll believe that there's a reason to write you a love song

Today, hey, hey, hey

Today. Today
