I'm Not Ready
Michael Bolton, Delta Goodrem
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I am broken There's a stranger on the phone Somethings missing, from seven years ago You tell me baby don't you cry anymore That's the past and not what we've become But I know I am shaking Not a breath left to breathe All this sadness so cold That I can't speak Look me in the eyes, You know it's okay we didn't make it forever Come hold my hand, Hold on to this last minute we have together [Chorus] I'm not ready To say goodbye You and God both know All the years that I've tried And if it's over Give me the strength to go Cause I know I'm never going to be I'll never be ready To say goodbye, to you My bags are all packed Waiting at the door Its hard to imagine I wont live here anymore I'm scared of tomorrow And the emptiness to come But I've changed for the better Since I've known your love Look me in the eyes, You know it's okay we didn't make it forever Come hold my hand, Hold on to this last minute we have together [Chorus] And even if we tried We would end up right back at this place together This was not a lie And what we had will always be a real love forever [Chorus]
