Love Song Lyrics
Head under water
And they tell me... to breathe easy for a while
The 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 leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you... a love song today
Today, yeah
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 leaving I'm gonna 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 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 (yeah eh eh eh)
Meaning of Love Song
“Love Song” by Sara Bareilles is a raw and defiant rejection of a romantic entanglement that’s actively causing pain. The lyrics depict a suffocating relationship where the speaker feels emotionally trapped, constantly being asked for a love song despite the immense difficulty it represents. She’s grappling with manipulative behavior, hurtful words, and a growing realization that this person isn't who she thought they were – a feeling compounded by the pressure to please. The repeated refrain, “I’m not gonna write you a love song,” is a powerful assertion of her boundaries and an unwillingness to participate in a dynamic that feels inherently damaging. Beneath the frustration lies a deep sadness and a desperate yearning for genuine connection, symbolized by the plea to "Promise me... you'll leave the light on," highlighting a need for clarity and guidance as she navigates a situation where leaving might be the only viable option.
