Not Tonight: lyrics
- The screen lights up the dark,
- Vibrating on the nightstand.
- I watch the numbers mark,
- The way you think you’ve planned.
- It’s been a habit for a year,
- Checking if I’m still awake.
- But the air is finally clear,
- And I’ve got no more time to fake.
- Not tonight,
- I’m letting it go to the tone.
- Not tonight,
- I’m perfectly fine alone.
- You’re reaching for a ghost,
- But I’m already gone.
- Not tonight,
- I’m turning the ringer off.
- I used to jump at every sound,
- Wondering what you had to say.
- But now my feet are on the ground,
- And I don’t need to look your way.
- The silence feels like a prize,
- Something I finally won.
- I’m closing both my eyes,
- Knowing that we’re done.
- Not tonight,
- I’m letting it go to the tone.
- Not tonight,
- I’m perfectly fine alone.
- You’re reaching for a ghost,
- But I’m already gone.
- Not tonight,
- I’m turning the ringer off.
- No more checking the time,
- No more reading between the lines.
- I’m taking back my sleep,
- And the promises you couldn't keep.
- Not tonight,
- I’m letting it go to the tone.
- Not tonight,
- I’m perfectly fine alone.
- You’re reaching for a ghost,
- But I’m already gone.
- Not tonight,
- I’m turning the ringer off.
