[Verse 1]
It’s hard to say goodbye with the tears in my eyes
Dripping down to the back of my throat
Two years like a knife took a piece of my pride
In my heart there’s a you shaped hole

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s bringing me back to you
You’re someone I can’t talk to

[Chorus]
So I’ll play your favorite song

Still hear you singing off-key
When you’re with someone I hope you’re thinking of me
I’m still holding on ’cause God knows I don’t wanna forget
I’m not ready
Kissing through the night
Morning s*x, cigarettes
Hanging off a light to every word, every breath
I’m not moving on ’cause then it’s really over and done
And I’m not ready yet

[Verse 2]
Screaming at the sky ’cause the stars don’t align
The one time that I really got close
It’s easier to lie and to say that I’m fine
But the pain is a slippery slope

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s bringing me back to you
You’re someone I can’t talk to

[Chorus]
So I’ll play your favorite song
Still hear you singing off-key
When you’re with someone I hope you’re thinking of me
I’m still holding on ’cause God knows I don’t wanna forget

I’m not ready
Kissing through the night
Morning s*x, cigarettes
Hanging off a light to every word, every breath
I’m not moving on ’cause then it’s really over and done
But I’m not ready yet

[Bridge]
I’m not ready, I’m not ready yet
I’m not ready, I’m not ready yet
I’m not ready, ooh
I’m not ready, I’m not ready yet
Ooh, I’m not ready, I’m not ready yet
I’m not ready, I’m not ready yet
No, I’m not ready

[Chorus]
So I’ll play your favorite song
Still hear you singing off-key
When you’re with someone I hope you’re thinking of me
I’m still holding on
Wishing I could wish you the best
But I’m not ready yet
