Sara Bareilles Lyrics
Head underwater
And they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
The 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 onto
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
(Yeah) Today, yeah
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 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 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 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
Today, (yeah) yeah

Jesus Christ Saves
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is returning very soon, and is the reason for all of the things that are happening on the Earth right now. This planet is on borrowed time.
Jesus Christ died on a cross, was buried in a tomb, and rose from the dead 3 days later, to pay for the sins of mankind, to give us eternal life and forgiveness from God.
EXACTLY how to be Saved by Jesus Christ, the Son of God:
1. Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord.
2. Believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Head underwater and they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
The 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
[Chorus]
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 a need a better reason
To write you a love song today
(Yeah) Today, yeah
[Verse 2]
I learned the hard way that they all say
Things you wanna 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
[Chorus]
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 a need a better reason
To write you a love song today
[Bridge]
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...
[Chorus]
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 (Ooh)
Cause you tell me it's make or break in this, huh
Is that why you wanted a love song? (Yeah)
Cause you asked for it, cause you need one
You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song (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 (I want 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 (Walk the seven seas)
When I believe that there's a reason
To write you (Write you) a love song today
Today (Yeah), yeah
Breakfast at tiffany’s
I just want to thank all the 2000’s artists who made songs like this. It really shaped my childhood and I’ll always carry these songs dearly until my time here is done.

Rukey Burg
These type of old songs always have that bold creative style like they can come up with everything they thought of. I get to really miss that type of raw use of creativity these days, Love that raw power.
lol k
What do you mean, old?
Bruce Wayne
Old? It's only from 2007. That's only 15 years ago. Far from old.
