Not today

Bridge 1:
I wanted love
I wanted affection
I needed you,
needed the protection

Why do you feel its ok?
to leave me here to cry
you're the reason for my tears
and I don't know why



Verse 1:
Yesterday
I hung up the phone and cried
when you said it was over,
another part of me died
I didn't understand then,
It was too much for me too see,
that she meant more to you
than me

-Chorus-
I finally  got that call and it
went straight to the machine,
as if yesterdays nightmare,
could become todays dream,

The words were, lets meet for coffee,
are you doing okay?
I hit delete and kept on walking,
maybe yesterday Id've picked up,
but not today,
(today, today, today)

Bridge 2:
Baby when we first met, it was all smiles
all those fridays nights I sat here alone,
waiting by the phone,
wishing you'd realize everything you want,
is waiting here at home

all  those endless days and sleepless nights
its when you grow coldest that you know,
if they don't want it, then you don't need it,
and this is how we grow


-Chorus-

Verse 2:
Each day goes by and I inside I know
without a cheater, you're always better off
alone...
and on that day, when part of me died,
another part of me I didn't see then came through,
the part of me,
the part of me that doesn't need you

-Chorus- (once)

no, I said not today
today, today, today
I'm better off alone, anyway.
