Jackopierce - I'm Not Ready Lyrics

You say there is no other who treats you like I do
But I've talked to your father and mother, they both say it's through
Now you've headed back to the East Coast in a brand new car
All my letters returned unopened just to see how you are

As you say, "Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?
Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?"

You say the world isn't over, it's just a different place
Though you're no longer around me, you send pain by the case
And I guess this thing wasn't working, so ending it was best
But I just can't seem to maneuver this weight off my chest

As you say, "Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?
Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?"
(Why can't we be friends?)
'Cause I'm not ready

You say there is no other who treats you like I do
But I've found myself with another and you've found someone else too
The pain is now in recession and lucid all my thoughts
Then you whisper for me to come closer and it seems like you forgot

That you said, "Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?
Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?
(Why can't we be friends?)

Why can't we be, why must this be the end?
(Why can't we be, we be friends?)
(Why can't, why can't, why can't we be friends?)

'Why can't we be, why can't we be, we be friends?
(Why can't we be friends?)
(Why won't you be my friend?)

'Cause I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready
