It's Not Easy to Write a Love Song

It's not easy to write a love song When I can't leave the past behind It's not easy to write you a love song When all the words are hard to find Why won't you throw your cigarette, lay down in the bed? Tell me, how can we forget 'bout the things we've said? Let's just put our minds to rest, never slippin' out Of your hands, ooh I'm falling into pieces every time you shoot me down My heart is like an echo from the bullets on the ground I want you to feel me every second When I am bleeding imperfections It's not easy to write a love song When we can't speak about it all (about it all) It's not easy to write us a love song When all the hurtin' has gone too far Why can't we dissipate our thoughts, lay down heart-to-heart? Let's just cover us from all the damage we have caused We can stay right where we are, never let us fall Out of love, ooh I'm falling into pieces every time you shoot me down My heart is like an echo from the bullets on the ground I want you to feel me every second When I am bleeding imperfections Oh, it's not easy It's not easy to write you a love song Oh, it's not easy It's not easy to write you a love song It's not easy to write a love song When I can't leave the past behind I want you to feel me every second (ooh) When I am bleeding imperfections (imperfection) Oh, it's not easy (it's not easy) It's not easy to write you a love song (to write you a love song) Oh, it's not easy (it's not easy) It's not easy to write you a love song
