Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Head under water
And you tell me
To breathe easy for awhile
The breathing gets harder
Even I know that
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well
But you make this
Hard on me
[Verse 4]
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 break in this
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Hey, hey, hey
Today
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 7]
I learned the hard way
That they all say
The things you wanna hear
And my heavy heart sinks
Deep, down under you
[Verse 8]
And your twisted words
Your help just hurts
You are not who I thought you were
Hello, to high and dry
[Verse 9]
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you
Hear me as I am
[Verse 10]
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 break in this
If you're on your way
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
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
[Verse 13]
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 break in this
Is that what you wanted
[Verse 14]
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
[Verse 15]
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Well, babe, I'll walk the seven seas
If you'll believe that there's a reason
To write you
A love song
Today
[Verse 16]
Hey, hey, hey
Today
Today
Hey, hey, hey
Today
