How to Write a Love Song - Emma Stevens, Pete Woodroffe

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

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

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

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 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

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
