Not the One

V6

[Intro] (distorted breathing, bass pulse) Back off. Not today. --- [Verse 1] Not me not today You don’t want this I’m not okay Seen too much everything’s grey Don’t push your luck go away --- [Pre-Chorus] I can feel the static building in my veins One more bad night from going off the rails again --- [Chorus 1] I’m not the one you wanna save tonight Not the one who’s gonna make this right Too burned out to fake alright Too wired just to fade out quietly Not the one Not the one Don’t get close I come undone --- [Verse 2] Cheap smoke fluorescent rain Every conversation sounds the same Half dead wide awake Every nerve ending starts to shake --- [Pre-Chorus] Everybody wants a clean confession Nobody wants the mess beneath it --- [Chorus 2] I’m not the one you wanna hold too tight Too many ghosts under these lights Running full speed through every warning sign Trying to outrun my own mind Not the one Not today One bad spark from slipping away --- [Breakdown] (drums pounding, shouted gang vocals) GO AWAY! GO AWAY! GO AWAY! NOT TODAY! --- [Final Chorus] I’m not the one you wanna save tonight But I’m still here and I still fight Every cracked and overloaded wire Still somehow catches fire Not the one Not okay Still breathing anyway --- [Outro] (distorted synth decay) Back off… Not today…
