Head under water 
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while 
The breathing gets harder, even I know that 
You made room for me but 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 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 leaving I'm gonna need a better 
Reason to write you a love song today 

I learned the hard way 
That they all say things you want to 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 
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 leaving I'm gonna 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
