not right now

you could see the smoke from a mile away, and trouble always draws a crowd, they wanna tell me that it'll be okay, but that's not what i need right now, not while my house is burning down, i know someday, i know somehow, i'll be okay, but not right now, not right now, tell me if the hope that you know is true, ever feels like a lie even from a friend, when their words are salt in an open wound, and they just can't seem to understand, that you haven't even stopped the bleeding yet, i know someday, i know somehow, i'll be okay, but not right now, no, not right now, don't tell me when i'm grieving, that this happened for a reason, maybe one day we'll talk about the dreams that had to die, for new ones to come alive, but not right now, while i wait for the smoke to clear, you don't even have to speak, just sit with me in the ashes here, and together we can pray for peace, to the one acquainted with our grief, i know someday, i know somehow, i'll be okay, but not right now, not right now, no, not right now
