Song lyrics
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'mma 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
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'mma 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 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
Today

I don't know how you all have failed to recognize what an original and interesting song this is. She has a beautiful voice and even though this sort of music is honestly a little gay for me, I can't deny that lyrically and musically this is a success.

Holy crap man! They play this song 20 times a day (overnight and early morning actually) on VH1! She is one of their "You Oughta Know" artists, but still the YOK artists don't usually get this much play.

I love this song, not the best on her cd, but still wonderful.

she wrote the song in response to her record label's demand that she have a quintessential love song on her album. she didn't want to because that's not who she is as an artist, so instead she wrote a song about how she wasn't going to write them a love song, but left it open to interpretation so listeners can relate it to their own stories. pure genius!

I actually have heard the entire CD, and this is not my favorite, but it's really catchy and it's a good song. It's also got a good message. Why should she write him a love song just because he asked for it? That's not how it works.
I really hope her career takes off because she's very talented and is a real musician.
