Love Song (lyrics) by Sara Bareilles

(Verse 1)

Head under water and they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
But breathing get's harder even I know that
Made room for me, but it's to soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusally hard to hold on to

(Bridge)
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 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 break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'ma need a better reason
To write you a love song today

(Verse 2)
I learned the hard way
That they all say things you wanna hear
And my heavy heart sinking
Deep down under
You and your twisted words
Your just help hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

(Bridge)
Convinced me to please you
Made me think I need this too
I'm trying to let me hear me as I am

(Chorus)
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause 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 break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'ma need a better reason
To write you a love song today

(Stick)

Promise me you'll leave the light on

To help me see daylight, my guide, gone

Cause I believe there's a way you can love me

Because I say

(Mini Chorus)

I'm not gonna write you a love song
Cause 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 break in this

(Chorus)
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 break in this
If you're on your way

I'm not gonna write you to stay

If you're 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 no reason to write you a love song today, today
