Not Today

[Verse 1]
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'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 start to say

[Pre-Chorus]
You're going nowhere
You're going nowhere
And the world that she's created starts to break

[Chorus]
Not today
I'll give it up tomorrow
Not today
Just leave me with my sorrow
Don't tell me I will live when you don't know me
I don't need you to change my mind, not today

[Verse 2]
Tommy hides his feelings in a brown bag
And when I try to ask him where his lady's 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

[Pre-Chorus]
You're going nowhere
You're going nowhere
And the world that he's created starts to break

[Chorus]
Not today
I'll give it up tomorrow
Not today
Just leave me with my sorrow
Don't tell me I will live when you don't know me
I don't need you to change my mind, not today

[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You're going nowhere
You're going nowhere
And the world that you've created needs to break

[Chorus]
Not today
I'll give it up tomorrow
Not today (I don't need you)
Just leave me with my sorrow
Don't tell me I will live when you don't know 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
(I'll give it up)
Just leave me with my sorrow (I don't need you)
Don't tell me I will live when you don't know me
I don't need you to change my mind, not today
