Lyrics Matthew West

Matthew West

Not Today

Yesterday, you came knockin' at my door

Sellin' me lies like every other time before

Can't believe I let you in

Fallin' for your tricks again

Yesterday your grip had me paralyzed

One foot in the grave, winner of a losin' fight

You called me by my shame

Now, I know that's not my name

I listened to you yesterday

Now, I need you to hear me say

Not today

The father of lies will not have his way

Yesterday, guilt had me diggin' my own grave

Sin had the final say

But not today (not today, no)

No, not today (not today, no)

The question is not, "Will I ever get knocked down?"

But, "Am I gonna let your games keep me on the ground?"

If you think gonna just give in

If you think I'm gonna let you win

Well, not today

The father of lies will not have his way

Yesterday, guilt had me diggin' my own grave

Sin had the final say

But not today (not today, no)

No, not today (not today, no)

I've been bought by a price

All my sins washed away

If you come at me again

You'll hear defender say

I've been bought by a price

All my sins washed away

If you come at me again

You'll hear defender say

I've been bought by a price

All my sins washed away

If you come at me again

You'll hear defender say

Not today

Yeah

Not today

The father of lies will not have his way (no)

Yesterday, guilt had me diggin' my own grave (diggin' my own grave)

Sin had the final say

But not today (not today, no)

Not today, no (not today, no)

Oh, not today (not today, no)

Not today (not today, no)
