Lyrics

[Intro]

Will I live tomorrow?

Well, I just can't say

Will I live tomorrow?

Well, I just can't say

But I know for sure

I don't live today!

[Verse 1]

No sun coming through my windows

Feel like I'm living at the bottom of a grave

No sun coming through my windows

Feel like I'm living at the bottom of a grave

[Verse 2]

I wish you'd hurry up and execute me

So I can be on my miserable way

[Chorus]

I don't live today!

Maybe tomorrow

I just can't say, but, uh

I don't live today!

It's such a shame to waste your time away like this

[Chorus]

Well

I don't live today!

Maybe tomorrow

I just can't tell you, baby, but

Oh, I don't live today!

It's such a shame to spend your time away like this

[Outro]
