I'm Not Ready Lyrics

I am broken
There's a stranger on the phone
Somethings missing,
From seven years ago
You tell me baby don't you cry anymore
That's the past and not what we've become
But I know

I am shaking
Not a breath left to breathe
All this sadness so cold
That I can't speak

Pre
Look me in the eyes,
You know it's okay we didn't make it forever
Come hold my hand,
Hold on to this last minute we have together

Chorus
I'm not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I've tried
And if it's over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I'm never going to be
I'll never be ready
To say goodbye, to you

Verse 2
My bags are all packed
Waiting at the door
Its hard to imagine
I wont live here anymore

I'm scared of tomorrow
And the emptiness to come
But I've changed for the better
Since I've known your love
Pre
Look me in the eyes,
You know it's okay we didn't make it forever
Come hold my hand,
Hold on to this last minute we have together

Chorus
I'm not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I've tried
And if it's over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I'm never going to be
I'll never be ready
To say goodbye, to you
(I'm not ready)

Bridge
And even if we tried
We would end up right back at this place together
This was not a lie
And what we had will always be a real love forever

Chorus
I'm not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I've tried
And if it's over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I'm never going to be
I'll never be ready
I'm not ready
To say goodbye
You and God both know
All the years that I've tried
And if it's over
Give me the strength to go
Cause I know I'm never going to be
I'll never be ready
To say goodbye to you
I'll never be ready
