Head underwater
And they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder, even I know that
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 break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leavin',
Imma need a better reason
To write you a love song today (today)
I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you want to 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
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',
Imma 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 there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't 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
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'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today (today)

I totally agree with you guys! The first time I heard this song, I fell madly in love with it..Sarah Bareilles is so awesome..Oh yeah, I think the story behind the song is so funny..
First of all for the people who dont understand the vid. heres wats up...Shes inside a clock from the 50s and shes sees the nickel comong in to the little place she lives in and HAS to sing. The lyrics are talking about im not gonna do what u tell me to cuz i dont have 2.thats wats up with the video
PS
LUV the song and video
I really love this song. It's great!
did you know that the story behind the song is not about a boy and a girl? some guy working with Sara Bareilles said you have got almost everything you need 4 this album. you just need one more song. he wanted a love song, but that was not her thing so this is what she turned out. thought you might like to know. this song rocks anyway. Sara Bareillesis such a good piano player.
THIS SONG ROX! I love this song! How is her last name pronounced?
