SARA BAREILLES LYRICS

"Love Song"

Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands

I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song todayWww@QuestionHome@Com

Since this is an audition, you are gonna wanna look for a song that will exhalt your voice and its good points
different songs make your voice sound good/bad by things like range, vibrato, fortes and such
so from experience you just want to take dif songs and sing them, seeing which you sound best in
this is from experience, and since this is a musical you might want to go for a song from a musical to show you are fit for a musical and not just "pop"
some good songs to try are:
15 going on 16-sound of music
popular-wicked
defying gravity-wicked
think of me-phantom of the opera
seasons of love-rent

by all means im not saying that you should be limited to musicals, but you should try some songs from them
and if you see that the song you sing the best is a pop hit one, or classic, by all means go for it
*good luck!*Www@QuestionHome@Com
