Lyrics

TODAY
Words and Music: Joe Alonso

I lost my job; the car broke down
They picked my wallet as I made my way downtown
It had just twenty bucks and a ticket out of town
But don't laugh yet; it gets much worse
It seems the heart that I protected has been hurt
You see the girl I love has left with no remorse

I'll cry myself an ocean,
With all emotions on high, so high
And if you care for me, it's one more lie

Today (fate played a joke on me)
Today (I wasn't meant to be)
Today's a set-up, for tomorrow's let down
Today (I wish was yesterday)
(I wish for shorter days)

I know you'll say, I must be strong
You'll want me to adjust and just get along
And even though I'm right you'll tell me that I'm wrong, so

Forgive me if I'm suspicious
Today's been too malicious on me, you see
One day or month or year's the same to me

I'll bend my knees in front of any God you want
Just as long as I'm shown the way
She'll shine a light at the world for me to see
All the good, all the love, but not?

Today (fate played a joke on me)
Today (I wasn't meant to be)
Today's a set-up, for tomorrow's breakdown
Today (I've had a real hard day)
