When I'm Ready
Embracing Heartbreak: Ray Little's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
I can’t make you
I am unable to control or influence you.
edge against my thick balloon
Attempting to create friction or conflict with my resilience.
you aren’t gonna to make me pop anytime soon
You won't cause me to break or fail anytime soon.
and I know you won’t miss a chance to win a fair fight
Aware that you won't pass up an opportunity to win a fair competition.
I guess that morning light dies in the heat of the dead of the night.
The brightness of the morning disappears in the intensity of the late night.
Chorus:
Chorus section begins.
Heartbreak will come when I’m ready
Heartbreak will occur at my own pace when I am prepared.
I’ll tear that shit down when I’m ready
I will confront and overcome challenges when the time is right.
heartbreak will come when I’m steadier when I am ready for this all to end.
Heartbreak will happen when I am more stable and ready for everything to come to an end.
If you were cooler
If you were more composed or calm,
what a mess you’d make of me
It would have a chaotic impact on me.
and we pretend to be meaner.
We pretend to be more ruthless or unkind.
I start fires that I regret
I initiate conflicts or troubles that I later regret.
talk me through this or I’m going to jet
Guide me through this situation, or I will leave abruptly.
so much left to say in vain and I guess it’s right in the dead of the night.
There is much to express in vain, and it seems appropriate in the late hours of the night.
Chorus:
Chorus section repeats.
Heartbreak will come when I’m ready
Heartbreak will come when I am prepared.
I’ll tear that shit down when I’m ready
I will dismantle obstacles when I am ready.
heartbreak will come when I’m steady or when I’m ready for this all to end.
Heartbreak will occur when I am steady or when I am ready for everything to conclude.
I know what we did wrong
I acknowledge our mistakes.
I want back where I belong in your arms
I desire to return to where I belong—in your embrace.
you can’t take back the run it left you exhausted
You cannot undo the exhaustion caused by the pursuit; let's examine who I have become.
let’s see who I’ve become
Understanding the consequences of actions and changes in identity.
heartbreak will come when I’m ready.
Anticipation that heartbreak will come when I am prepared.
Chorus repeat…
