Before Today
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't want excuses
I don't want your smiles
I don't want to feel like were apart a thousand of miles
I don't want your attitude
I don't want your things
But I don't want a phone that never rings
I want your love and I want it now
I want your love and I want it now
I don't want your history
I don't want that stuff
I want you to shut your mouth
That would be enough
I don't care if youve been here before
You don't understand
Tonight I feel above the law, I'm coming into land
I want your love and I want it now
I want your love and I want it now
My heart is that much harder now
that's what I thought before today
My heart is that much harder now
I thought that it would stay that way, before today
Before today
But I don't want a phone that never rings
I want your love and I want it now
I want your love and I want it now
I want your love
