I wasn't ready for the avalanche When we let things slide I'd always hoped that we would have the chance At least to say we tried So i went sifting though my old mistakes On the day you left And i decided to forgive myself The heart can only take so much regret
You're all i'm aching for And yet I don't want this pain no more And yet My heart won't lock that door I wasn't ready for the avalanche
I wasn't ready for the words you chose When you said goodbye Or just how suddenly the roads could close Between your life and mine So i went looking for the reasons why And i got so lost And i decided i would have to try To live without your love at any cost
You're all i'm aching for And yet I don't want this pain no more I can't get My heart to lock that door And i wasn't ready for the avalanche
