[Verse 1]
Head under water
And you tell me
To breathe easy for awhile
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well but you make this hard on me

[Chorus]
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 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!

[Verse 2]
I 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 what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

[Chorus]
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 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
[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
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
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
