Not Today

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
