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 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 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   'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me because I say      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      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
