I'm not ready to love
I'm not ready for peace
I'm giving up the dove to the beast
I'm not ready to surrender to another glove murderer

I'm not ready to love
I'm not ready to to fly
I'm giving up belief in the sky
So you can take my sin in up above on high, say goodbye

I'm not ready to love
I'm not ready to love
(Not ready to love, not ready to love, not ready to love
Not ready to love, not ready to love)

I'm not ready to love until I'm ready to love you the way you should be loved
Until I'm ready to hold you the way you should be held (not ready to love)
You should be held, but I'm not ready to
(Not ready to love)
