Lyrics
Not Tonight
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.
Nursing the lies that make you bold
By deterring everything you're told
And now you're using mercy as bait
To catch a chance to compensate
Well, I'm not going down like this
Not here, not now, not tonight
Treated my troubles as your own
Walked right into my burning home
And as you watch the flames arise
I sweep up ashes you expect a prize
Well, I'm not going down like this
Not here, not now, not tonight
And now you realize you've threatened
All the sympathy you ain't getting
Cover you tracks and leave no trace
Strap a mask on your face
Cause I'm not going down like this
Not here, not now, not tonight
