Not Tonight from Save Me by Downcast

Not Tonight
By Adam Joshua Castro

-Verse 1-
You left me for dead, where I was misled,
Thought feelings were from the heart, but they were all in my head.
How could I mishear, every word that was said?
I guess they were meant for someone else instead…

-Verse 2-
How could you leave? How could you go?
No explanation, no reason to show…
How could you leave? Where did you go?
(A telephone call in the middle of late afternoon, is what broke my heart
A Telephone call in the middle of late afternoon)

-Chorus-
Is this a nightmare? Is this a dream?
I have lost everything, or so it may seem
I cannot force you to stand by my side
All that I ask dear is “Please not tonight”

-Bridge-
Do you remember?…Late in December…
Our love burned like ember…
Burning so bright, from the outside…
Do you remember…Late in December
Laughing and crying and living and dying
And this heart is trying but there’s no denying!
(All I have left are these pictures and memories
And they feel like daisies fading away in the breeze
All of these pictures and memories of you and I together.
All I have left are these pictures and memories
And they feel like daisies fading away in the breeze
All of this living and dying and this heart is trying but…)

CHORUS

How could you leave? How could you go?
No explanation no reason to show…
Maybe one day, I will know
(I am still praying that this is all just a dream
And that by morning, you’ll return to me.
And if I ask you to come home
Please don’t say no…)
