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 regret

You'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 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 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 cost

You'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 avalanche

You'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 avalanche

Ooo ooo

Ooo ooo

Ooo ooo

Ooo ooo
