Head underwater, and you tell me

To breathe easy for a while

The breathing gets harderEven 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 long 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

(Hey, hey, hey, today!

Hey, hey, hey, today!)

I learnt the hard way

That they all say

The things you wanna hear

My heavy heart sinks deep down under

You and your twisted words

Your help just hurts

You are not who 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 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

Promise me

That you′ll leave the light on

To help me see

The daylight my guide, gone

'Cause I believe

That there′s a way

You can love me

Because I say

I won't 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

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 walk the seven seas

When I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song

Today
