lyrics

I don’t wanna write a love song,

’cause I don’t like how it feels

I’m scared that I’m just cheapening

Something that is real

But I’ll try



How do I put

into words what I feel every second of the day?

All of the moments

Heartbeats adding up in a million ways

But I won’t deny there’s times you annoy the hell out of me

when the seat’s still up, when you leave a mess

when you wanna control the TV



See, I’m getting this all wrong already

But please be patient with me baby , cuz



I don’t wanna write a love song,

I don’t like how it feels

I’m scared that I’m just cheapening

Something that is real



I don’t wanna write the words down

and reveal what’s in my heart

But I know that you’ve been wondering

So maybe this is a start, and I’ll try



How many times

have I wrote about my broken heart?

And dig up the memories

of a bunch of guys I can’t tell apart

But all of those songs were hollow compared to you and me

When we dance in the kitchen, we talk all night, and we laugh together and tease



So , at the risk of sounding cheesy, this song’ s for you and always will be but,



I don’t wanna write a love song,

I don’t like how it feels

I’m scared that I’m just cheapening

Something that is real



I don’t wanna write the words down

and reveal what’s in my heart

But I know that you’ve been wondering, so maybe this is a start



But my tongue gets tangled up and I don’t know what to say

Some might think I’m indifferent, but I could never feel that way

Emotion inside’s just too strong, for passing mention in a song,

But you know that I’ve loved you all along



And that’s why

I don’t wanna write a love song,

’cause I don’t like how it feels

I’m scared that I’m just cheapening

Something that is real



I don’t wanna write the words down

and reveal what’s in my heart

But I know that you’ve been wondering , so maybe this is a start and I’ll try. Oh I will try. For you, I have tried.
