Head under water

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 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, yeah

I learnt 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 tryin' to let you

hear me as I am

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

'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 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 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...
