[Verse 1]
Never been the type to leave much room for anyone to speak
Always been about what I want, listen to me while I preach
Never been the kind to make much space for emotions in a fight
Anything I didn't wanna hear, I just preached 'til I was right
[Pre-Chorus]
But you, you got me on the line
Told me that you think it's time
Make a change or this is gonna stall
Shape up or you'll drop me like a call
[Chorus]
Now I wanna write a love song
Even though you never ever asked me for one
Write you a letter, send sweet poems
Ask for forgiveness, tell you I was wrong
Sit myself down, rein my pride in
Start to focus, change who I've been
Give me a second, let me u-turn
Write you the love song you've earned
[Verse 2]
I been like this so long I can barely stand to think it now
Every second of my life push back until I broke them down
I've been selfish so long I don't know why you would ever stay
Every minute you've been here, I've been pushing you and your love away
[Pre-Chorus]
But you, you got me on the line
Told me that you think it's time
Make a change or this is gonna stall
Shape up or you'll drop me like a call
[Chorus]
Now I wanna write a love song
Even though you never ever asked me for one
Write you a letter, send sweet poems
Ask for forgiveness, tell you I was wrong
Sit myself down, rein my pride in
Start to focus, change who I've been
Give me a second, let me u-turn
Write you the love song you've earned
[Bridge]
Every time I think I hurt you
All I have to do is think through
What I want, list your virtues
Apologize, I don't deserve you
Every time I know I hurt you
All I have to do is run through
What I need, list your virtues
Apologize, I don't deserve you
[Chorus]
Now I wanna write a love song
Even though you never ever ask me for one
Write you a letter, send sweet poems
Ask for forgiveness, tell you I was wrong
Sit myself down, rein my pride in
Start to focus, change who I've been
Give me a second, let me u-turn
Write you the love song you've earned
Give me a second, let me u-turn
Write you the love song you've earned
