Not Today Lyrics

I finally fell asleep today

I'm never coming round

Don't bother sending flowers

Cause they'll just bring me down

I had a pair of ladies

But I couldn't bring them home

I had my share of chances

But I guess they've all been blown

All been blown

Well my mama, she done told me

When I was just a kid

Warned me about a hundred things

That I later went and did

And I've been beaten down

Pushed around

Fell down through the cracks

And got away

got away

I've been broken down

Face in the ground

Gotten back up again

But not today

Not today

Not today

Not today

Whoa

Finally spoke to God today

I'm never coming home

Don't you shed a tear for me

As I'm finally not alone

Not alone

You won't find me in a rainbow

I won't be your shooting star

Sunlight is such a burden

I will stay hidden in the dark

I'll be in the dark

Well my mama, she done told me

When I was just a kid

Warned me about a hundred things

That I later went and did

Well I've been beaten down

Pushed around

Fell down through the cracks

And got away

got away

I've been broken down

Face in the ground

Gotten back up again

But not today

Not today

Not today

Not today

Whoa

I finally destroyed my heart today

I'm surprised that it took this long

Pain and its pretty colors

They help to keep me strong

So move along and fill the holes

Don't wonder what might have been

There's no room in here for pity

The air's already getting thin

It's getting thin

Mama, she done told me

When I was just a kid

Warned me about a million things

That I later went and did

Well I've been beaten down

Pushed around

Fell down through the cracks

And got away

Got away

I've been broken down

Face in the ground

Gotten back up again

But not today

Not today

Not today

Not today

Not today

Not today

Not today

Whoa

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
