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
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 leavin',
I'ma 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
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
Make me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/sara_bareilles/love_song.html ]
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 leavin',
I'ma 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'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
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
Or 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
I love sara bareilles!!! Her song love song just blows me away. She is one of my fave artists and that's one of my fave songs! I don't like her song 'bottle it up' though but love song is just so awesome!!! I'm a true fan sara! You are totally excellent.
She's not just gonna give her heart out to anybody... She needs a reason, a motive to but when she does find a reason she will do anything in he power to keep it

Well done, ilovefashion, you correctly guessed. Sara has said that she wrote that song to teach the managers a lesson. She was told by them that her album little voice would not be published if she didn't have a love song in it, but, she didn't want to write one. They forced her to and she wrote that to tell them that it wasn't fair, and they still haven't realised what or who it was directed at if anyone at all. If you are reading this, sara, cunning little plan you have got there, i love it!

Actually, sara has said in previous concerts that she wrote this song because her producers told her to, and it was directed at them, hence the words 'not gonna write you a love song'. But, then again, i still believe that this was sung from her heart and that she is still an amazing singer.

Its like someone gave her an ultimatum to write a love song and she doesn't want her love song writing talents or her heart taken for granted... If you are already leaving then i need a better reason to write you a love song today!

To me it means that this girl left this guy and he wanted an explanation to it and so she wrote the love song.
I think this song means that her manager is telling her to write a love song so she wrote this song to say she isnt go to write one because they said so

Although most people believe this is actually a love song, it was actually a angry response to her record label, who wanted her to write more marketable songs. Listen to it knowing that, and it sounds much different.
