I'm Not Ready

"You say there is no other who treats you like I do

But I've talked to your father and mother, they both say it's through

Now you've headed back to the East Coast in a brand new car

All my letters returned unopened, just to see how you are

As you say, 'Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?'

'Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?'

You say the world isn't over

It's just a different place

Though you're no longer around me

You send pain by the case

And I guess this thing wasn't working

So ending it was best

But I just can't seem to manuever this weight off my chest

As you say, 'Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?'

'Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?'

Cause I'm not ready

You say there is no other who treats you like I do

But I've found myself with another

And you've found someone else too

The pain is now in recession

And lucid all my thoughts

Then you whisper for me to come closer

And it seems like you forgot that you said

'Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?'

'Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?'

'Why can't we be, why must this be the end?'

'Why can't, why can't, why can't we be friends?'

'Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?'

'Why won't you be my friend?'

Cause I'm not ready

I'm not ready

I'm not ready

I'm not ready"
