Not 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.
You were so different
From every other person
That strolled into my life
And helped himself to anything
I didn't listen to the
Things your eyes were saying
Mine they were blind
To the falling of the sky
Now don't you go thinking
That you got a piece of me
I'm opening my eyes
It's time for all to see
Someday I'm gonna realize
That you were all wrong for me
This bed won't seem so big
And my arms won't seem so free
Someday I'll be ready
For whatever comes my way
Someday but not today
It was uncommon
The way you wrapped your finger
Around my aching heart
And kept it from breaking
Ironically enough
You became the cause
Of the shattering of everything
That makes me who I am
Well baby I forgive you
For the sins you cast my way
My mind will erase you
And everything will change
Don't you go thinking
That you got a piece of me
I'm opening my eyes
It's time for all to see
You know, I've realized
You were all wrong for me
This bed has gotten smaller
And my arms they are free
And I'm ready to embrace
Whatever comes my way
It's ok but not today
