  • Someday, I won't be afraid of my head
    Someday, I will not be chained to my bed
    Someday, I'll forget the day he left
    But surely not today
    One day, I won't need a PhD
    To sit me down and tell me what it all means
    Maybe one day it'll be a breeze
    But surely not today
    But surely not today

    Oh, you don't know what sadness means
    'Til you're too sad to fall asleep
    One day, I'll be snoozin' peacefully
    But surely not today
    Surely not today

    One day, I swear the pain will be a blip
    I'll have the hardest time recallin' it
    I'll be the king of misery management
    But surely not today
    One day, that song won't make me cry anymore (no, no, no)
    One day, I'll get up off the bathroom floor (hey, yeah)
    Oh, piece by piece, I'll be restored
    But surely not today (surely not)
    Ay, not today

    Oh, you don't know what happy means
    If it's only in your dreams
    I'll be acquainted with my jollities
    But surely not today
    Yeah, surely not today

    Surely not
    Surely, surely not
    Surely not
    (Surely not) today

    One day, the thought of him won't hurt the same
    Won't need distractions to get through the day
    I guess I hope I'm gonna be okay
    'Cause I'm not today Writer/s: Alessia Caracciolo
