Love Song by Sara Bareilles

Love Song by Sara Bareilles

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 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
Log on to kill this message.

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 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 wont 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 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

Sara Beth Bareilles (pronounced /bəˈrɛlɪs/) (born on December 7, 1979[1] in Humboldt County, California) is a singer-songwriter and pianist.[2] She has been compared to Fiona Apple, Norah Jones, and Joni Mitchell despite her lack of formal training in either voice or piano.[2]

Sara graduated Eureka Senior High School of Eureka, CA in June of 1998. She was voted Most Talented in the senior yearbook of that year. A preview of her talents to come were displayed when she played Audrey in the high school's rendition of Little Shop of Horrors.

Sara attended UCLA, where she was a member of their a cappella group Awaken.[3] The group's rendition of Bareilles' "Gravity" was featured on the Best of College A Cappella 2004 compilation CD. On April 15, 2005,[2] she was signed to Epic Records by A&R exec Pete Giberga.[4]

In 2007, Bareilles toured as the opening act for Aqualung and Mika. In mid-2007 she opened for Rocco DeLuca and the Burden during their inaugural headline tour and co-headlined a tour with Jon McLaughlin. In autumn of that year, she, with The Hives, opened for part of Maroon 5's U.S. tour and also opened for Paolo Nutini's U.S. tour. Her first full-length major-label album, Little Voice, was released on July 3, 2007.

In June 2007, iTunes featured Bareilles' single "Love Song" as the free single of the week. The following month, Little Voice shot to #1 on the list of most downloaded albums of the music store, and bowed at number 45 on the Billboard 200, selling 16,000 copies.[5]
