Gary Allan - Can't Do It Today lyrics

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

Well, I can see you dancing in that strangers arms

My world hasn't stopped turning but it's falling apart

Every breath that I take's a little closer to sane

Yeah, they say that time is a healer but it's still a long, long ways a way, yeah

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

Don't wanna do it today

There's a part of me that wishes I could just forget

But I haven't found the mercy yet

Ain't 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

Don't wanna do it today

Can't do it today

Not gonna do it today
