Jessica Harper - Not Today lyrics

rate me

You were so different

From every other person

That strolled into my life

And helped himself to anything

I didn’t listen to the

Things your eyes were saying

Mine they were blind

To the falling of the sky

Now don’t you go thinking

That you got a piece of me

I’m opening my eyes

It’s time for all to see

Someday I’m gonna realize

That you were all wrong for me

This bed won’t seem so big

And my arms won’t seem so free

Someday I’ll be ready

For whatever comes my way

Someday but not today

It was uncommon

The way you wrapped your finger

Around my aching heart

And kept it from breaking

Ironically enough

You became the cause

Of the shattering of everything

That makes me who I am

Well baby I forgive you

For the sins you cast my way

My mind will erase you

And everything will change

Don’t you go thinking

That you got a piece of me

I’m opening my eyes

It’s time for all to see

You know, I’ve realized

You were all wrong for me

This bed has gotten smaller

And my arms they are free

And I’m ready to embrace

Whatever comes my way

It’s ok but not today
