Lyrics
Not Today
You took my hand and walked me / built up the walls to stop me / from ever seeing sunlight / you watched me close and held tight / there were no promised made / there were no words that we said / I never meant to say yes / I never meant to say no
Chorus : No I don?t think it?s black and white / No I don?t think its wrong or right / No I don?t think its going to change Not Today (doubles and one low 8ve)
You took my heart and kept it because somehow I left it somewhere you were invited but I was undecided / What does this story want to tell? When will the secrets be revealed / There are no signs to follow / Only your lies to swallow
Chorus
Bridge: I awaken to this nightmare and I see that you were never what you seemed to be!
Chorus
