How To Write A Love Song

[Verse 1]
You were so complicated
And I thought maybe it was me all along
If you knew how much I hated
Every time you said “Hey, when you gonna write me that love song”
I guess I didn’t have the recipe
Until you left me, and took the best of me
And you walked out that door
But the ingredients I needed, you completed, when you cheated
And I still wanted more
You taught me how to write a love song

[Chorus]
Words come first, but you need a little pain
So all the things you left unsaid, won’t have been in vain
And trying to find a melody, is easy now you’re gone
Cause baby when you left me
You taught me how to write a love song
How to write a love song

[Verse 2]
I hope you, you get to hear this
And I hope that she’s listening too
And when she says “Weren’t you together?”
I wonder if you’ll ever tell her the truth
I guess I didn’t have the recipe
Until you left me, took the best of me
And you walked out that door
But the ingredients I needed, you completed, when you cheated
And I still wanted more
You taught me how to write a love song

[Chorus]
Words come first, but you need a little pain
So all the things you left unsaid, won’t have been in vain
And trying to find a melody, is easy now you’re gone
Cause baby when you left me

[Bridge]
You taught me how to lie awake at night
Wondering how to make it right
You taught me how to lie and say
“I’ll be fine, I’ll be okay”
But then you taught me how to turn things around
When every sign is facing down
But now I’m glad it all went wrong
Because you taught me how to write a love song
How to write a love song

[Chorus]
Words come first, but you need a little pain
So all the things you left unsaid, won’t have been in vain
And trying to find a melody, is easy now you’re gone
Cause baby when you left me
You taught me how to write a love song

Words come first, but you need a little pain
(How to write a love song)
So all the things you left unsaid, won’t have been in vain
(How to write a love song)
And trying to find a melody, is easy now you’re gone
(How to write a love song)
Cause baby when you left me
(How to write a love song)
You taught me how to write a love song

[Outro]
How to write a love song
How to write a love song
How to write a love song
How to write a love song
