NOT READY Lyrics
[Verse 1] Let’s just be Honest
Jesus, I’m a Mess
Can’t seem to Fill
This Void of Emptiness
My Bills are Paid
But I’m still Stressed
I need You, I need You
[Verse 2] Trying to Medicate
End all the Pain
Can’t Hush these Voices
In my Brain
Singing Songs to Silent
Sounds of Shame
I need You, I need You
But if I Tell the Truth
I’m so Afraid the Truth
I know it, and You know it
[Chorus] I Know I need to Pray
But I don’t know how to Say
I’m Not Ready
I’m Not Ready to Change
I wanna Trust in You
But if I Told the Truth
I’m Not Ready
I’m Not Ready to Change
[Verse 3] Soaking between what was
And were to be
I’m so Afraid to Loose
The Image they See
I don’t even know
What’s Happening to Me
I need You, I need You
But when I Face the Fact
My Feelings know the Fact
And I Know it
Yes, I know it
[Chorus] I Know I need to Pray
But I don’t know how to Say
I’m Not Ready
I’m Not Ready to Change
I wanna Trust in You
But if I Told the Truth
I’m Not Ready
I’m Not Ready to Change
[Verse 4] Sometimes I Feel Like I
Like I gotta Hide
I just don’t get
Why You Stay with me
Cause my Faith and my Trust
Are Wavering, Wavering
Maybe You saw my Pride
It’s Hard to Surrender
When I’ve been Pretending
To have it Together
But I feel Like my World
Is Falling Apart
Just need a Man
Just so I kinda Catch Up
I know I’m not Finished
I just can’t seem to get up
Help me Remember
All of the Place that we Made
When we were both Honest
In Page, Honest in Page
[Chorus] I Know I need to Pray
But I don’t know how to Say
I’m Not Ready
I’m Not Ready to Change
I wanna Trust in You
But if I Told the Truth
I’m Not Ready
I’m Not Ready to Change
But if I Told the Truth
I’m Not Ready
