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 till I was right

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

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

I've been like this so long I can barely stand to think it now

Every second of my life pushed 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

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

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

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

Any 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

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

Give me a second, let me u-turn

Write you the love song you've earned
