Love Song (Sara Bareilles cover)

Head underwater
And you tell me
To breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even 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 one)
'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 (hey, hey, hey)
Today, hey, hey, hey

I've learned the hard way, that they all say
The things you wanna hear
And 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 (how?)
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song ('cause you ask for one)
'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, with 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 what you wanted?

A love song? 'Cause you asked for it
Or '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 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 (hey, hey, hey)
Today
Today, hey, hey, hey
Today
