Sara Bareilles - Little Voice

Head underwater
And they tell me
To breathe easy
for a while
Breathing gets harder, even
I know that
Made room for me;
it's too
soon to see
If I'm happy in
your hands
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
Or 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, yea

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

Convince 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)yea
yea yea yea
