Not Today - Blake Lewis

Gonna stop the world in the palm of her hand

But daddy’s little girl doesn’t understand

She’s about to lose control

One prescript doesn’t feed her appetite

Wish I could’ve been the one to satisfy

But I can’t compete with rock 'n roll

She paints a picture of a perfect moment

But the mirrors' all around her, it’s hard to say

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

Just leave me with my sorrow

Don’t tell me what you mean, when you’re here don’t call me

I don’t need you to change my mind, not today

Tommy hides his feelings in a brown bag

When I try to ask him where his ladies at

He feeds his fears with 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

Just leave me with my sorrow

Don’t tell me what you mean, when you’re here don’t call me

I don’t need you to change my mind, not today

Your burden, you’re bleeding but you’re too numb to feel

Now you’re on your own

You’re hurting, you’re fading, this life is not worth hating

Be yourself alone

You’re going nowhere

You’re going nowhere

And the world that you’ve created starts to break

Not today

I’ll give it up tomorrow

Not today

Just leave me with my sorrow

Don’t tell me what you mean, when you’re here don’t call me

I don’t need you to change my mind, not today

I don’t need you

I’ll give it up tomorrow

Not today

Just leave me with my sorry

I don’t need you

I don’t need you to change my mind

Not today
