How To Write A Love Song - Emma Stevens

How to Write a Love Song - Emma Stevens
You were 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”
Guess I didn’t have the recipe
Til you left me
Took the best of me
And you walked out that door
The ingredients I needed
You completed
When you cheated
And I still wanted more
You taught me how to write a love song
Words Come First
But you need a little pain
So all the things you left unsaid
Won’t have been in vain
And tryin to find a melody
Is easy now you’re gone
Cos baby when you left me
You taught me how to write a love song
I hope you get to hear this
And I hope that she’s listening to
And when she says “Weren’t you together”
I wonder if you’ll ever tell her the truth
Guess I didn’t have the recipe
Til you left me
Took the best of me
And you walked out that door
The ingredients I needed
You completed
When you cheated
And I still wanted more
You taught me how to write a love song
Words Come First
But you need a little pain
So all the things you left unsaid
Won’t have been in vain
And tryin to find a melody
Is easy now you’re gone
Cos baby when you left me
You taught me how to write a love song
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 ok”
But then you taught me how to turn things round
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
Words Come First
But you need a little pain
So all the things you left unsaid
Won’t have been in vain
And tryin to find a melody
Is easy now you’re gone
Cos baby when you left me
You taught me how to write a love song
