Not Right Now

You could see the smoke from a mile away

And trouble always draws a crowd

They wanna tell me that it'll be okay

But that's not what I need right now

Not while my house is burning down

I know someday

I know somehow

I'll be okay

But not right now

Not right now

Tell me if the hope that you know is true

Ever feels like a lie even from a friend

When their words are salt in an open wound

And they just can't seem to understand

That you haven't even stopped the bleeding yet

I know someday

I know somehow

I'll be okay

But not right now

No, not right now

Don't tell me when I'm grieving

That this happened for a reason

Maybe one day we'll talk about the dreams that had to die

For new ones to come alive

But not right now

While I wait for the smoke to clear

You don't even have to speak

Just sit with me in the ashes here

And together we can pray for peace

To the one acquainted with our grief

I know someday

I know somehow

I'll be okay

But not right now

Not right now

No, not right now
