I'm Not Ready Yet
Delayed Departure: Navigating the Unspoken Struggle of Parting Ways
Lyrics
I said I'd leave you anytime I'm ready
I previously claimed I would leave you whenever I feel prepared
Some April when all the land is wet
Perhaps in some rainy April when the land is wet
Some summer, some fall, or maybe winter
Whether in summer, fall, or even winter
I'll go someday, but I'm not ready yet
Although I will depart at some point, I'm not ready yet
I should've left the day your love was dyin'
I should have left when your love was fading away
I passed up every date I ever set
Despite setting numerous departure dates, I ignored them all
I know I'll leave you when my heart is ready
I acknowledge I will leave when my heart feels prepared
I'm still around, 'cause I'm not ready yet
I'm still present because I haven't reached that readiness
Well, I've left a hundred times, but you don't know that
I've claimed to leave many times, but you are unaware
Because I'm ashamed to tell how far I get
Out of shame, I haven't disclosed how unsuccessful those attempts were
You didn't, you don't, you'll never love me
You never loved me, don't love me, and won't love me
And someday I'll go, but I'm not ready yet
Despite this, I will leave someday, but not yet
I should've left the day your love was dyin'
I should have left when your love was fading away (repeated)
I passed up every date I ever set
Despite setting numerous departure dates, I ignored them all (repeated)
I know I'll leave you when my heart is ready
I acknowledge I will leave when my heart feels prepared (repeated)
I'm still around, 'cause I'm not ready yet
I'm still present because I haven't reached that readiness (repeated)
