It might break my heart if I break yours
It's a lose-lose kind of game if you're keeping score
And it feels like something's coming down
And it may be your heart that's swinging out
By those kind of games I played before

I didn't say I couldn't love you
I never said I didn't care
I won't say I'd never hold you
It's okay my love
It's time to let go
Try not to care
We'll take it slow

Right through my heart
And down to my knees
It seems a real symbol that a single man needs
But I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go
If you think it's time to leave when you please
I would buy a ticket if a ticket's what you need
But I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go
I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go
I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go

Gather up your things and buy that ticket
Well the train's at the gates waitin' on you
And your hand is dealt and you got no cards
And you're playing where someone's played before
No, please after me
No, after you

I didn't say I couldn't love you
I never said I didn't care
I won't say I'd never hold you
It's okay my love
It's time to let go
Try not to care
We'll take it slow

Right through my heart
And down to my knees
It seems a real symbol that a single man needs
But I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go
If you think it's time to leave when you please
I would buy a ticket if a ticket's what you need
But I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go
I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go
I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go

Why, oh why
Did you ever think that I wouldn't miss you
Why, oh why, my love
Who am I to ever think that I wouldn't miss you
Why, oh why, my love

Right through my heart
And down to my knees
It seems a real symbol that a single man needs
But I'm not ready
Hey, I'm not ready to go
If you think it's time to leave when you please
I would buy a ticket if a ticket's what you need
But I'm not ready
Hey, I'm not ready to go
I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go
Hey, I'm not ready, no
I'm not ready to go
