11 - when i believe there is a reason

i learned the hard way
that they all say things you wanna 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

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'ma 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 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 love a 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 there is a reason
to write you a love song today
