I’m Not Ready for the People I Love to Die Lyrics by Oily Bastard

Humorless Fandangle

2024

[Verse 1]
Just because it's normal doesn't mean that I can handle it
I'm not ready for them to go
And I don't want to think about it but someday I'll have to
That is a fact I know
[Chorus]
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I'm not sure that I'll ever be oh
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I'll leave it to my future self to try
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I'm not sure that I'll ever be oh
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I don't know if I'll be prepared
[Bridge]
So I'm tying up leaves and I'm saving my grieves
For the days that I know are nigh
And I'm saying my prayers but I'm just not prepared
For the people I love to die
[Verse 2]
I am not a nihilist or someone who gets sad a lot
I just don't want to see them keel
And I know that it is set in stone and I'll have to get over it
But that is just the way I feel
[Chorus]
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I'm not sure that I'll ever be oh
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I don't know if I'll have enough tears to cry
[Verse 3]
I don't know when, how, or why or who or where or anything but
Every day it happens to someone
All I know is that it's bound to happen, there's no point in wallowing
But that's easier said than done
[Chorus]
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I'm not sure that I'll ever be oh
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I'll leave it to my future self
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I'm not sure that I'll ever be oh
I'm not ready for the people I love to die
I don't know if I'll have the strength to say goodbye
