Experiment

Well, it would seem that absolutely no one reads this anymore, and that is kind of a bummer. My friend Kacey told me long ago that posting song lyrics always bumps up your hits, so in a gesture of ego-stroking I have decided to sell out and post some song lyrics.

*ahem*

So, this song totally sums up the way I feel today.

SARA BAREILLES LYRICS

"Love Song"

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

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 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

did you know that she wrote that song because her record label (or a record label that was looking into signing her) told her that she had to write a love song, or that she needed to...something like that...she was told to write a love song..so she wrote this...

interesting bit of information

I read this. Incidentally, theses are the same lyrics I posted on my blog that turned me on to that fact...(so many fun comments come to mind that I could say about that but due to my guilt at not having talked to you for a while I will refrain.)

I'll keep reading whether you post song lyrics or not.
