Are You Ready Now
Are You Ready Now
After all this time
Visions of you cross my mind
An unkind word, cold shoulder
Takes me back
Familiar pain
Like a knife to my heart.
So it’s the 19th song
And the 21st page
Why not they say, it just gets better with age
So I keep trying to dump my past
And make a life that’s meant to last
Are you ready now.
Are you ready now to let go.
Are you ready now.
Are you ready now to let go.
So I find myself
Obsessed with you
For the 27th time
It’s what I do.
If you paint the devil on the wall
And he appears before us all.
Daring us to take the fall.
So for the 50th time
I answer the phone
To hear you complain
When I’d rather be alone
But that would make me selfish
I am just a fly
And you’re the butterfly.
Are you ready now.
Are you ready now to let go.
Are you ready now.
Are you ready now to let go.
What do you think of me?
opinions on tap
When will I ever learn
My self worth
Is not determined by you.
Is my memory of you
Clouded by my own
Desires?
I read between the lines of your life
Hidden secrets
pain and strife
not my battle to fight.
I Finally put my dreams to bed
And vow to keep you out of my head.
I’ll be just fine, as long as I remember
That I too, am a butterfly.
I am ready now.
I am ready now.
I am ready now.
To let go.
