Wasn’t Ready for This Lyrics by Emily Ortego

Love Drought

2020

[Verse 1]
There's a thing people say about love and all its ways
If it's right, you'll know and if it's not, let it go
You're bound to leave again, I thought it was us in the end
I thought we could've been a force to be reckoned with
[Pre-Chorus]
All this time I must've been wrong
I thought I was where I belong
[Chorus]
And the dream of me and you was too good to be true
A part of me had always known that I'd never ever be your home
But I held on to that little bit of hope
'Cause you're the one that means the most to me
The one who swore you'd never leave and you did
And I wasn't ready for this
[Verse 2]
The days pass by, you never leave my mind
The green in your eyes haunts me every night
When will this end? Will my heart begin to mend
Or will I just pretend that I don't feel the burn?
[Pre-Chorus]
And all this time I must've been wrong, so wrong
I thought I was where I belong
[Chorus]
The dream of me and you was too good to be true
A part of me had always known that I'd never ever be your home
But I held on to that little bit of hope
'Cause you're the one that means the most to me
The one who swore you'd never leave and you did
And I wasn't ready for this
[Bridge]
The sleepless nights
The bloodshot eyes
And the tears I cried, these words I write
That silver shine [?]
Is slipping away
Slipping away
[Chorus]
The dream of me and you, it was too good, it was too good to be true
A part of me had always known that I'd never ever be your home
But I held on to that little bit of hope
'Cause you're the one that means the most to me
The one who swore you'd never leave and you did, you did
And I wasn't ready for this
I wasn't ready for this
