Trying to keep a candle burnin in a hurricane That's what it's like when you love me, and you leave me this way Like a dove cryin out when he's lost the will to fly, yeah Shackled down to the earth by your long chained lies, well I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray But I just can't do it today I can't do it today Well, I can see you dancin in that stranger's arms My world hasn't stopped turnin, but it's fallin apart Every breath that I take's a little closer to sane, yeah They say that time is a healer, but it's still a long, long ways away Yeah I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray But I just can't do it today I can't do it today Don't wanna do it today There's a part of me that wishes I could just forget But I haven't found the mercy yet No mercy yet I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray But I just can't do it today I just can't do it today I just can't do it today I just can't do it today Wanna do it today Can't do it today Not gonna do it today
