Trying to keep a candle burning in a hurricane   That's what it's like when you love me and you leave me this way   Like a dove crying out when he's lost the will to fly   Yeah, shackled down to the earth by your long chain of 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      I can see you dancing in that stranger's arms   My world hasn't stopped turning but it's falling apart   Every breath that I takes a little closer to sane   Yeah, they say that time is a healer but it's still a long, long ways away      'Cause, 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, go on and do it today      There's a part of me that wishes I could just forget   But I haven't found the mercy yet, hey no mercy yet      ''Cause 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
