it's like I was bleeding and u turned a blind eye left me behind and just walked away while I was just laying here broken inside.
If I called ur name would u leave here 2 die.

Hey don't try 2 me I'm out of my mind.
Not Today,

NO Not Today,
Not Today,
Why should I suffer-I don't care what u do.It really don't matter at all.U've been been my world and my weakness, my stength and my pain.
Why can't I just leave this behind and walk away-While I'm lying here broken inside-I try so hard this time.BUT
U pull me right back 2 u,
Just like u always do.
Hey don't try 2 tell me I'm out of my mind.

Not Today...
The lyrics of Pistol Day Parade's song Not Today explore the pain and hurt of a relationship that has ended. The singer is lying awake, unable to sleep due to the pain they are feeling inside. The other person in the relationship has turned a blind eye and walked away, leaving the singer feeling broken and alone. The singer questions whether the other person would even care if they called out for help, as they always seem to leave the singer to suffer alone. The chorus of the song, "Not Today," reinforces that the singer is not willing to reconcile with the other person and go back to feeling the pain that they have experienced.
The lyrics suggest that the other person was the singer's world, their weakness, strength, and pain. They were everything to the singer, and they cannot seem to let go of the love and bond they once shared. At the same time, they also feel like they are drowning in their sorrow and cannot allow the other person to use and abuse their feelings anymore.
Overall, the song communicates the painful and difficult process of letting go of a past love and moving forward in life.
