Not Ready

So many voices, in my head.
If I'm not built for this, I'm better off dead.
So many questions, in your head.
Can I be trusted w/your heart in my hands?


Don't want to leave you, but I think about it every night.
I get the feeling grass is greener on the other side.
I want to love you, I doubt that I'll be strong enough.
I just don't think I'm ready to love.


Don't want this pressure in my bed.
I wanted treasure, found trouble instead.
& I'm so sorry, Babe, for the lies I lead.
I stand accounted for, for the things I said.

& because you're worth it, I think about it every night.
I want to love you & maybe in another life.
This would be perfect but could I ever give enough?
I just don't think I'm ready to love.

I'm not ready.
