How To Write A Love Song Songtext

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
