about

"Just For Now" was on the ballot for the '09 Grammy's for "Best Female Vocal Performance." Gayle's powerfully raw lyrics are accentuated by her emotive performance of this song about letting the dead lie dead.

lyrics

Look what we’ve done
Where will we run?
Look what we’ve done
Hope now for none
Just for now I kind of want to leave it broken
Just for now I kind of want to let it be
There are words I kind of want to leave unspoken
Though it’s an uneasy peace
Echoes of anger
Resounding clearly
I am resolute; I am absolute
Yes, I’m absolutely certain we should just let it be
Just for now I kind of want to keep from saying
One more thing I’m going to have to say I’m sorry for
And for once I kind of want to keep from hearing
Words that sting that my mind is going to keep on playing
And playing and playing and echoing over and over and over
Look what you’ve done, look what you’ve done
What have you done? What have you done?
We had better leave it broken
We should just let it be
I kind of want to leave it broken
I kind of want to let it be
There are words I kind of want to leave unspoken
Though it’s an uneasy, it’s an uneasy; it’s an uneasy, uneasy peace
