not today

gonna stop the world in the palm of her hand, but daddy's little girl doesn't understand, she's about to lose control, one prescript doesn't feed her appetite, wish i could've been the one to satisfy, but i can't compete with rock 'n roll, she paints a picture of a perfect moment, but the mirrors' all around her, it's hard to say, you're going nowhere, you're going nowhere, and the world that she's created starts to break, not today, i'll give it up tomorrow, not today, just leave me with my sorrow, don't tell me what you mean, when you're here don't call me, i don't need you to change my mind, not today, tommy hides his feelings in a brown bag, when i try to ask him where his ladies at, he feeds his fears with alcohol, lost his job and now he's losing everything, two shots kick off every morning, he can't see the writing on the wall and it says, you're going nowhere, you're going nowhere, and the world that he's created starts to break, not today, i'll give it up tomorrow, not today, just leave me with my sorrow, don't tell me what you mean, when you're here don't call me, i don't need you to change my mind, not today, your burden, you're bleeding but you're too numb to feel, now you're on your own, you're hurting, you're fading, this life is not worth hating, be yourself alone, you're going nowhere, you're going nowhere, and the world that you've created starts to break, not today, i'll give it up tomorrow, not today, just leave me with my sorrow, don't tell me what you mean, when you're here don't call me, i don't need you to change my mind, not today, i don't need you, i'll give it up tomorrow, not today, just leave me with my sorry, i don't need you, i don't need you to change my mind, not today
