bottle it up

bareilles, sara

there'll be girls across the nation

that'll eat this up

babe i know that it's your soul

but could you bottle it up

and get down to the heart of it

no it's my heart

you're shit out of your luck

don't make me tell you again

my love love love love

love love love love

i am aiming to be somebody

this somebody trusts

with her delicate soul

i don't claim to know much

except soon as you start

to make room for the parts

that aren't you it gets harder

to bloom in a garden

of love love love love

love love love love

only thing i ever could need

only one good thing worth trying to be

and it's love love love love

i do it for love love love love

we can understand the sentiment you're saying to us

but sensible sells so could you kindly shut up

and get started

at keeping your part of the bargain

aw please little darlin'

you're killing me sweetly

with love love love love

love love love love

only thing i ever could need

only one good thing worth trying to be

and it's love love love love

i do it for love love love love

started as a flicker

meant to be a flame

skin has gotten thicker

but it burns the same

still a baby in a cradle

got to take my first fall

baby's getting next to nowhere

with her back against the wall

you meant to make me happy make me sad

wanna make it better better so bad

but save your resolutions for your never new year

there is only one solution i can see here

love you're all i ever could need

only one good thing worth trying to be

and it's love love love love

i do it for love

love

love

love

only gonna get get what you give away

so give love

love

only gonna get get what you give away

love
