Write This Down Lyrics
You said you wanted someone just like me
You let me read it in your diary
I'd like to write this out if you still read
It was an awkward patch
I had an itch to scratch
We spent the summer kissing in a basement room
Learning all the rules
You made them up as you went along
And then your passion cooled
You really had me fooled
I'm not gonna be around
You better write this down
I'm gonna leave without a sound
You better write this down
I didn't really need to hear the facts
But you know me, I couldn't help but ask
But now you're telling me to relax
I chose the warmest day to rain on your parade
I learned to love the sickly sweet
In order to meet all of my body's needs
You swore to keep me in your nest
How could you tell a lie about the birth of a child?
I'm not gonna be around
You better write this down
I'm gonna leave without a sound
You better write this down (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away
(Middle Bridge) (??)
... (You wrote in your diary)
(I wish you would show me)...
Here's an entry for your diary
Dictation - are you ready?
I'm not gonna be around
You better write this down
I'm gonna leave without a sound
You better write this down (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away (Defy you)
I won't always be around
You better write this down (Defy you)
I will leave you on the ground
You better write this down (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away (Defy you)
I'm gonna leave without a sound
You better write this down
You let me read it in your diary
I'd like to write this out if you still read
It was an awkward patch
I had an itch to scratch
Learning all the rules
You made them up as you went along
And then your passion cooled
You really had me fooled
You better write this down
I'm gonna leave without a sound
You better write this down
But you know me, I couldn't help but ask
But now you're telling me to relax
I chose the warmest day to rain on your parade
In order to meet all of my body's needs
You swore to keep me in your nest
How could you tell a lie about the birth of a child?
You better write this down
I'm gonna leave without a sound
You better write this down (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away
... (You wrote in your diary)
(I wish you would show me)...
Dictation - are you ready?
You better write this down
I'm gonna leave without a sound
You better write this down (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away (Defy you)
You better write this down (Defy you)
I will leave you on the ground
You better write this down (Defy you)
We assemble it all and then we tear it away (Defy you)
I'm gonna leave without a sound
You better write this down
