lyrics

Verse 1
It started out with hopeful thoughts in an empty room
Couldn’t find the right way to say I love you
Flipped through the dictionary, but the words were too ordinary
You deserve so much better, but what can my pen do?

Chorus 1
You are the hardest part of writing a love song
Too hard to work it out when nothing’s quite spot on
How can anyone describe, the angel I see in your eyes?
Even as I write this line, trying to capture you

Verse 2
At a dead end with a lazy cliché
Wrote a couple down but can’t call it a day, gotta
Try to think of something witty, nothing that’s been done already
Maybe I’m trying too hard, to say what I need to say?

Chorus 2
You are the hardest part of writing a love song
Too hard to work it out when nothing’s quite spot on
How can anyone describe, the angel I see in your eyes?
Even as I write this line, trying to capture you

Bridge
Perfect rhymes and imagery
Metaphors and similes
But what are they good for?
They don’t live up to you.

Chorus 3
You are the hardest part of writing this love song
Too hard to work it out when nothing’s quite spot on
How can anyone describe, the angel I see in your eyes?
Even as I write this line, trying to capture you

Chorus 4
You are the hardest part of writing this love song
Too hard to work it out when nothing’s quite spot on
How can anyone describe, the angel I see in your eyes?
Even as I write this line, trying to capture you
