Head under water 
 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 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 
 If all you have is leavin' 
 I'm gonna need a better reason 
 To write you a love song 
 Today 
 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 break in 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 
 You'll leave the light on 
 To help me see 
 With daylight, my guide, gone 
 'cause i believe 
 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 break in 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 break in 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. 
 Today...
