  • One day I won't be afraid of my head
    One day I will not be chained to my bed
    One day 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, ah
    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 snoozing peacefully
    But surely not today, but surely not today

    One day I'll swear the pain will be a blip
    I'll have the hardest time recalling it
    I'll be the king of misery management, yeah
    But surely not today
    One day that song won't make me cry anymore
    One day I'll get up off the bathroom floor
    Oh, piece by piece I'll be restored
    But surely not today, yeah, 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, not today

    Surely not, surely not, surely not, ooh

    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
