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 siftin' though my old mistakes on the day you left
And I decided to forgive myself the heart can only take so much regretYou're all I'm achin' 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 avalancheI 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 lookin' for the reasons why and I got so lost
And I decided I would have to try to live without your love at any costYou're all I'm achin' for and yet
I don't want this pain no more and yet
My heart won't lock that door
And I wasn't ready for the avalancheYou're all I'm achin' for and yet
I don't want this pain no more I can't get
My heart won't lock that door
And I wasn't ready for the avalancheOoo ooo
Ooo ooo
Ooo ooo
Ooo ooo
