Jessica Harper - Not Today Lyrics

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
