Head un der wa ter, and they tell me to breathe eas y for a while.
The breath ing gets hard er; e ven I know that.
Made room for me.
It’s too soon to see
if I’m hap py in your hands.
I’m u su’l ly hard to hold on to.
Blank stares at blank pag es.
No eas y way to say this.
You mean well but you make this hard on me.
I’m not gon na write you a love song ’cause you ask for it, ’cause you need one.
You see, I’m not gon na 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 gon na write you to stay.
If all you have is leav in’, I’m gon na need a bet ter rea son to write you
a love song
to day.
This page shows “Love Song” by Sara Bareilles in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 120 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
