Not Today Songtext
von Blake Lewis

Donna′s got the world in the palm of her hand
But daddy's little girl doesn′t understand
She's about to lose control
One prescription doesn't feed her appetite
Wish I could have been the one to satisfy
But I can′t compete with rock and roll

She paints a picture of a perfect moment
But the mirror′s all around and it's hard to see
You′re going nowhere, you're going nowhere
And the world that she′s created starts to break

Not today, I'll give it up tomorrow
Not today, oh just leave me with my sorrow
Don′t tell me how to live when you don't know me
I don't need you to change my mind, not today


Tommy hides his feelings in a brown bag
And when I try to ask him where his lady′s at
He pleads his fifth of alcohol
Lost his job and now he′s losing everything
Two shots kick off every morning
He can't see the writing on the wall
And it says

You′re going nowhere, you're going nowhere
And the world that he′s created starts to break

Not today, I'll give it up tomorrow
Not today, oh just leave me with my sorrow
Don′t tell me how to live when you don't know me
I don't need you to change my mind, not today

You′re burning, you′re bleeding
But you're too numb to feel it
Now you′re on your own
You're hurting, you′re fading
This life is not worth hating
Leave yourself alone

You're going nowhere, you′re going nowhere
And the world that you're creating needs a break


Not today, I'll give it up tomorrow
Not today, oh just leave me with my sorrow
Don′t tell me how to live when you don′t know me
I don't need you to change my mind, not today
Not today, I′ll give it up tomorrow
Not today, oh just leave me with my sorrow
Don't tell me how to live when you don′t know me
I don't need you to change my mind, not today
