Is it any wonder why,
This love's a bitter taste?
I know I've tried to tell you goodbye,
Words so hard to leave my face.
Take me outside, where I'm feeling bold again.
Take me outside, where I bury love to rest.
Take all your pain, I'm not ready.
Place all your blame, 'cause I'm not ready anymore.
If I told you half of the why's,
You'll see my patience has frayed.
I know you'll find your self here in time,
And smile at thoughts of our best.
Take all your pain, I'm not ready.
Place all your blame, 'cause I'm not ready.
Take your wounded heart, and find serenity again.
I can't be what you ask, 'cause I'm not ready for this.
Your self-staining blisters, turn bruises to anger,
when all I wanted was you.
You drowned in your history and shattered my instincts,
And buried me in shadows of you.
Take all your pain, I'm not ready.
Place all your blame, 'cause I'm not ready.
Take your wounded heart, and find serenity again.
I can't be what you want, 'cause I'm not ready for this.
