Lyrics

[Chorus]
Today is the greatest day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
[Verse 1]
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
[Chorus]
Today is the greatest day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow, I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
[Verse 2]
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
[Chorus]
Today is, today is
Today is the greatest day, ooh
[Verse 3]
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you
[Chorus]
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day, I
I have ever really known
