Today
Matisse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today my head is in a mess
Today I'm nervous out of control
Today I hit a low low
It's you and you I recall
The days you used to drive me insane,
The nights you gave my love a bad name,
Today it feels like I'm at the end of the line
I hate to miss you more every day
I pray your memory fades away
Just get the hell out of my life

Because you
Are always on my mind
There is always you
Drowning me till I die-ie-ie
Cause today
I kinda feel like cry
There is always you
Drowning me till I die-ie-ie

Today I woke up under my bed
Today my lips won't whisper a word
Today my heart's a broken toy
You don't want to play with any more
And all the times you said you are mine,
And now you're gone and baby that's fine,
I tell myself that I don't care
And then I think of you there goes my day




I start to cry and break more away
Just shut up and silent the voice in my head...

Today my head is in a mess
My thoughts are jumbled and I am confused


Today I'm nervous out of control
I am anxious and can't calm down


Today I hit a low low
I am feeling very sad


It's you and you I recall
I can't stop thinking about you


The days you used to drive me insane,
I remember the times when you bothered me endlessly


The nights you gave my love a bad name,
You behaved poorly and made people think badly of me


Today it feels like I'm at the end of the line
I feel like I can't go on anymore


I hate to miss you more every day
I dislike how my feelings towards you keep growing


I pray your memory fades away
I wish I could forget you


Just get the hell out of my life
Leave me alone and never come back


Because you
My emotions are caused by


Are always on my mind
I can't stop thinking about you


There is always you
You are always present in my thoughts


Drowning me till I die-ie-ie
Your memory is overwhelming me


Cause today
Currently


I kinda feel like cry
I feel like crying


Today I woke up under my bed
I was in such a bad state that I passed out on the floor


Today my lips won't whisper a word
I am too upset to speak


Today my heart's a broken toy
My heart is shattered and unusable


You don't want to play with any more
You no longer want to be with me


And all the times you said you are mine,
I recall every instance when you said you loved me


And now you're gone and baby that's fine,
I claim to be okay with you leaving, but I'm not


I tell myself that I don't care
I'm trying to convince myself that I am over you


And then I think of you there goes my day
The thought of you ruins my entire day


I start to cry and break more away
I cry and feel even more torn apart


Just shut up and silent the voice in my head...
I wish the voice reminding me of you would disappear
