Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned
Knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
And I couldn't look back
And I couldn't look back
[Verse 2]
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen
Not this way
Not today
Not today
Hold up, help
[Verse 3]
I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned
Knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
And I couldn't look back
And I couldn't look back
[Verse 4]
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen
Not this way
Not today
Not today
Hold up, hold on
Not today
Head up
Not today
