lyrics

Offer me a seat
And take it away
Another dirty trick
Another game we play
Apologize again
Make a sorry face
Practice our deceits
Paint the picture grey

There may be a time
When everything is fine
But it was not today
It was not today
I saw the smoking gun
I thought you were the one
But you are not today
You are not today

Elevator up
To the second floor
Used to take the stairs
Can't cliimb anymore
Operating room
Where I left my heart
Take too many steps
Slowly fall apart

The TV's black and white
You said we wouldn't fight
But that was not today
That was not today
I thought I wanted more
Of what we were before
But we are not today
We are not today

There was a time
When everything was fine
But it was not today
It was not today
I thought I wanted more
Of what we were before
But I do not today
I do not today

First you wash your face
Then you go to bed
You still can't erase
Everything we said
Ordinary lives
Terrible mistakes
Things will take their toll
Time is all it takes
Time is all it takes
Time is all it takes
