Not Ready for Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] So here I am again standing at the edge of a break Shoulders aching from the weight of what you forced me to take Ears are ringing, chest is heaving, made another mistake And I see you Up on a higher ground I think your hand is reaching for mine But something sharp behind your smile finally catches my eye It takes my breath away and then all I can see is the sky As you wave goodbye [Pre-Chorus 1] How many times can someone fall Before their lungs give out? How many times can someone crawl Back to the ledge they have nightmares about? I lost count of how many times You pushed me with promises that this time I fly Then suddenly I opened my eyes And now I'm (Hey!) [Chorus] Breaking down all of your cardboard boxes Cutting up the silhouettes of who you thought I'd be I may be falling but the clouds I'm crashing through are only clearing away your debris And now I'm fighting for my life but I'm ready to block this blow I bet you never saw it coming from your devotee I'd stand back if I were you because I'm telling you now Baby, you're not ready for me [Verse 2] It's been a while since you left me shattered there on the ground And I've collected all the pieces of myself that I found Your clutter's gone and I'm debating how to fill this space now Then I see you It feels nostalgic as I watch your smile crinkle your eyes And for a moment I'd forgotten every one of your lies Something shifted and your gravity can't hold me this time So I wave goodbye [Pre-Chorus 2] How many times can someone call Before the line cuts out? How many times can I stand tall Against a tide that is pulling me down? I lost count of how many times You held me with promises that this time you'd try But finally I opened my eyes And now I'm (Hey!) [Chorus] Breaking down all of your cardboard boxes Cutting up the silhouettes of who you thought I'd be I may be falling but the clouds I'm crashing through are only clearing away your debris And now I'm fighting for my life but I'm ready to block this blow I bet you never saw it coming from your devotee I'd stand back if I were you because I'm telling you now Baby, you're not ready [Bridge] And I know that to go alone Can be terrifying It's hard to reconcile With the fear that you gave me of flying But the path in the grass has been split in two So I take a breath and make my move And find I've [Outro] Broken down all of your cardboard boxes Cut up all the silhouettes of who you thought I'd be No longer falling I just couldn't see my wings until I cleared away your debris And now I've won back my own life and deflected the final blow I guess you never saw it coming from your devotee Stay the hell out of my way because I'm telling you now Baby, your not ready for me (Oh-Oh! Oh-Oh!) Your not ready for me (Oh-Oh! Oh-Oh!) Your not ready for me (Oh-Oh! Oh-Oh!) Your not ready for me (Oh-Oh! Oh-Oh!) Your not ready for me (Oh-Oh! Oh-Oh!)
