Why don’t you write me love songs—
she asks me hoping that my answer would explain it                   

She said I paint with a palette of sorrows
Looking for a brighter tomorrow to rise from the ashes of today

But she’s tired of the broken hearts
The second chances, brand new starts    
She only wants some hope from me   
A simple song of harmony, she says: 
Why don’t you write me love songs?  

It’s hard keeping faith when you’re lonely on the road                       
It’s hard to tell her that I love her before the night grows dark and cold  
                                                                                                           
But she’s tired of the broken hearts
The second chances, brand new starts    
She only wants some hope from me   
A simple song of harmony, she says: 
Why don’t you write me love songs?

She says “Tell me about the night you saw me from across the room, 
Tell me about the poem you wrote for me,   
Tell me how you said my eyes were bluer than the sea.”    
                                                                                                           
Because she’s tired of the broken hearts
The second chances, brand new starts    
She only wants some hope from me   
A simple song of harmony, she says: 
Why don’t you write me love songs?
