Put It off Until Tomorrow
Tomorrow Can Wait: Navigating Heartbreak in Dolly Parton & Kris Kristofferson's Melody
Lyrics
Put it off until tomorrow
Delay dealing with the issues until a later time
You've hurt me enough today
Expressing emotional pain caused by actions today
You say our love is over
Claiming that the romantic relationship is finished
You say you've found another
Indicating the partner has found someone else
Now you're saying you're going away
Announcing the intention to leave
Put it off until tomorrow
Advising to postpone the emotional discussion
You've hurt me enough today
Reiterating the emotional harm caused today
You've hurt me enough today
Highlighting the continued emotional distress
I can't believe the words you say
Expressing disbelief at hurtful words spoken
But I must accept the fact
Accepting the painful reality of the breakup
You won't be coming back
Acknowledging that the partner won't return
Oh stay
Pleading for the partner to stay
Stay just one more day
Requesting just one more day together
Loneliness isn't far away
Noting that loneliness is imminent
Put it off until tomorrow
Repeating the advice to delay the emotional confrontation
You've hurt me enough today
Reiterating the emotional harm caused today
Just put it off until tomorrow
Echoing the advice to postpone dealing with the issues
You've hurt me enough today
Reiterating the emotional harm caused today
