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
|
