love song

February 14, 2008

This is currently my favorite song.   I have3 favorite songs of all time, but this is just my favorite song of the moment, it is really really nice.  It is entitled Love Song by Sarah Bareilles. Here’s the video and then the lyrics.  I hope you enjoy.

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 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

 

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 breaking 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 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 breaking 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 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

***

Don’t underestimate the song with its poppy tune and the weird video, it is actually bitter.  I’m not into Valentines when all the people were showing their love, why do you need a day to be able to show your love when there are 364 other days to do so?
