Sara Bareilles - Love Song (Live) lyrics

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 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'ma need a better reason To write you a love song today (Yeah) Today, yeah I learned the hard way That they all say 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 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'ma need a better reason To write you a love song today Promise me (Ah, ah, ah) That you'll leave the light on (Ah, ah, ah) To help me see (Ah, ah, ah) With daylight, my guide, gone (Ah, ah, ah) 'Cause I believe, there's a way (Ah, ah, ah) You can love me because I say I won't write you a love song 'Cause you ask for it 'Cause you need one (Mhm) You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song (ooh) 'Cause you tell me it's Make or breakin' this Is that why you wanted, a love song? (Yeah) 'Cause you asked for it 'Cause you need one You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song (Write you a love song) 'Cause you tell me it's Make or breakin' this If you're on your way (Oh, oh) I'm not gonna write you to stay If your heart is nowhere in it I don't want it for a minute (for a minute) Babe, I'll walk the seven seas (the seven seas) When I believe that there's a reason To write you a love song today (write you a love song today) Today, yeah
