"I'm Not Ready"
	JACKOPIERCE
	From the Album "Woman As Salvation" & "Decade"


	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 your heading back to the east coast
	In a brand new car
	All my letters returned unopened
	Just to see how you are
	As you say

	[Bridge]  x2
	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 maneuver
	This weight off my chest
	As you say

	[Bridge]  x2

	[Chorus]
	Because 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 are my thoughts
	Then you whisper for me to come closer
	And it seems like you forgot that you said

	[Bridge]  x2

	Why can't we be friends
	Why must this be the end

	[Bridge]

	[Chorus]

	I'm not ready
	I'm not ready
	I'm not ready
