| I learned the hard way, |

| 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'm gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today. |

| '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 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. |
