Not Tonight
Skyler Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Easy come easy go
Well they talk
But they don't know
The kind that comes on quick
And wears off slow
I threw my whole heart
Didn't think twice
Didn't look back
Guess I would have been more careful
Had I known
Someday I will take the photos off the wall
Someday my heart won't break when his memory calls
Someday I will breathe again
Someday my heart will beat again
And I will be fine
But just not tonight
Please don't tell me it's for the best
There's still a hole in my chest
Sayin' it's right won't make it hurt any less
Just wanna hide away in my room
Play back the goodbye so overdue
And cry in an old sweatshirt he left
But don't you worry 'bout me
I'm doin' my best
Someday I will take the photos off the wall
Someday my heart won't break when his memory calls
Someday I will breathe again
Someday my heart will beat again
And I will be fine
Just not tonight
I lay here in this bed alone
The sheets smell like his cologne
Rememberin' those days
Hope it never fades
Makes me think of what we had
Makes me feel like runnin' back
But I know why I left
This time I won't forget
Someday I will take the photos off the wall
Someday my heart won't break when his memory calls
Someday I will breathe again
Someday my heart will beat again
And I will be fine
Just not tonight
Just not tonight
In Skyler Day's song "Not Tonight," she speaks about a heartbreak that leaves her feeling down and helpless. Despite encouragement from others to forget and move on, she admits that it is not so easy to let go of the memory of her past love. She describes the way her heart was given away without second thought, only for it to be crushed in the end. The pain is something that comes on quickly and wears off slowly - a feeling that may resonate with anyone who has experienced heartbreak.
Throughout the song, the singer speaks to someone who may be trying to convince her that the heartbreak is for the best. In response, she expresses the deep pain and sadness that she feels, explaining that even though it may be right to end the relationship, it still hurts. She goes on to explain how she just wants to be alone and cry for a while, but that she is doing her best to stay strong.
As the song comes to an end, the singer acknowledges that eventually, she will heal. Someday, she will be fine, and her heart will beat again. But for now, the pain is still fresh, and she is simply not ready to move on.

Those who say
People who claim
Easy come easy go
That love that came easily can go easily
Well they talk
They talk, but
But they don't know
They don't really know what it means
The kind that comes on quick
That kind of love that happens suddenly
And wears off slow
And fades gradually
I threw my whole heart
I gave my entire heart
In his hands
To him
Didn't think twice
Without hesitation
Didn't look back
Without regret
Guess I would have been more careful
Maybe I should have been more cautious
Had I known
If I knew what was coming
Someday I will take the photos off the wall
One day I will remove the photos from the wall
Someday my heart won't break when his memory calls
One day his memory won't hurt my heart anymore
Someday I will breathe again
One day I will be able to breathe without pain
Someday my heart will beat again
One day my heart will heal, and I will love again
And I will be fine
I will be okay
But just not tonight
But not tonight
Please don't tell me it's for the best
Don't try to convince me that this is what's best
There's still a hole in my chest
I still feel empty inside
Sayin' it's right won't make it hurt any less
Saying it's the right thing to do won't make the pain go away
Just wanna hide away in my room
I just want to disappear in my room
Play back the goodbye so overdue
Press rewind and listen to the goodbye I should have said earlier
And cry in an old sweatshirt he left
Cry while hugging a sweatshirt that reminds me of him
But don't you worry 'bout me
But don't worry about me
I'm doin' my best
I'm trying my best to cope
I lay here in this bed alone
I'm alone in this bed
The sheets smell like his cologne
The sheets still have the scent of his cologne
Rememberin' those days
Remembering the good old days
Hope it never fades
I hope the memories never fade away
Makes me think of what we had
It reminds me of what we once shared
Makes me feel like runnin' back
It makes me want to go back to him
But I know why I left
But I know why I had to let go
This time I won't forget
This time I won't make the same mistake again
