Robin Davies - Today: a song

The story breaks like thunder
When the lightning's gone
Nowhere to hide or run to
Nothing bright to warn the storm

The fire's gone, it's dark and cold
There's no spark or guiding light
But there's no way you're gonna get burned
That's how you'll tell yourself that you're right

The love, the trust, I traded just for truth
But I thought that you were different
Thought you could handle it, but

Today
Today
I'd take it back
But it's too late

Today
I'd be the one you knew
But I couldn't wait
I couldn't wait

The way I think is different
From the way I feel
My mind says I did it right
But my heart says you're my ideal

And all the times you asked me
Now you know I lied
But it makes no difference
Except at least I know I tried

The laughs, the tears, the times that we both shared
Now they're all memories because of you
I thought you'd understand, so

Today
Today
I'd take it back
But it's too late

Today
I'd be the one you knew
But I couldn't wait

Today
Today
I'll try my hardest
Just to move on

Today
I'll block out all my thoughts
But I know you'll still be gone

And in a sad kind of way
I knew you'd go, but
I couldn't stay and lie
It wasn't fair to you, so

Today
Today
I know I'm right
So I'll let you go

Today
I'll look at my reflection
See the one you wouldn't know

Today
Today
Put it behind me
'Cause it's too late

Today
I'm happy that it's over
'Cause I couldn't wait

I couldn't wait
