I'm Not Ready

There was a time
I used to not be blind
When life was so sublime
I could read between the lines
And recognize the signs
But not today
I’m too afraid
I'm trying to find a way
To make you want to stay
And hear what I have to say

You’ve got to understand
This isn’t what I planned

CHORUS
But I love you so much
My pulse quickens at your touch
I want to cry out ‘cause it's too strong to deny
But I'm not ready

It's so hard
To protect my heart
And always have be on guard
Not to reveal my cards
Or expose the scars

When I met you
And learned the truth
I didn't know what I should do
‘Cause everything I thought I knew
Was thrown completely askew
You’ve got to understand
This isn’t what I planned

CHORUS
I love you so much
My pulse quickens at your touch
I want to cry out ‘cause it's too strong to deny
But I'm not ready

BRIDGE
You’re what my heart seeks
But the time’s not right
Maybe our love can be
In another place, in another time

I'm so confused
I feel obtuse
Like my brain has blown a fuse
And I can't begin to choose
All the right words to use

And so tonight
I give you this insight
To comprehend my plight
I’ll try to be concise
I’ll just say it- I’ll just say it outrightYou’ve got to understand
This isn’t what I planned

CHORUS
I love you so much
My pulse quickens at your touch
I want to cry out ‘cause it's too strong to deny
But I'm not ready
I’m not ready
I’m not ready
