No, No Not Today
Bitter sweet memories
Drift distantly
Further away from me
Now that when I feel it’s finally over for real
You return to me
And I so foolishly hope
That maybe there’s something
Where nothing once burned
That somehow your cold heart has warmed to me
Maybe down deep
You mourn what you've done to me
And that against all reason, you love me
You said what was done didn't matter to you
But somehow you felt something too
Any man with a heart would have to
I was by you
Always around you
I made it so easy for you
Loving and hating you
Now the tables have turned
And it’s you're chasing me
Crooning sweetly
But it's not because you love me
Or care even a bit
You want to play the master
And me the hapless prey
No, no not today.
