I'm Not Ready Lyrics - Gems: The Duets Collection - Michael Bolton

I am broken, there's a stranger on the phone 

Something's missing from seven years ago 

You tell me, "Baby, don't you cry anymore 

That's the past and not what we've become" 

But I know 

I am shaking, not a breath left to breathe 

All this sadness, so cold that I can't speak 

Look me in the eyes 

You know it's okay that we didn't make it forever 

Oh, come hold my hand 

Hold on to this last minute we have together 

I'm not ready to say goodbye 

You and God both know all the years I've tried 

And if it's over, give me the strength to go 

'Cause I know I'm never gonna be 

I'll never be ready to say goodbye to you 

My bags are all packed, waiting at the door 

It's hard to imagine I won't live here anymore 

I'm scared of tomorrow and the emptiness to come 

But I've changed for the better since I've known your love 

So look me in the eyes 

You know it's okay we didn't make it forever 

Come, hold my hand 

Let's hold on to this last minute we have together 

I'm not ready to say goodbye 

You and God both know all the years I've tried 

And if it's over give me the strength to go 

'Cause I know I'm never gonna be 

I'll never be ready to say goodbye to you 

I'm not ready 

And even if we tried 

We would end up right back to this place together, oh 

And this was not a lie 

And what we had will always be a real love forever 

'Cause I'm not ready to say goodbye 

You and God both know all the years I've tried 

And if it's over, give me the strength to go 

'Cause I know I'm never gonna be 

I'm not ready to say goodbye 

You and God both know all the years I've tried 

And if it's over, give me the strength to go 

'Cause I know I'm never gonna be 

I'll never be ready to say goodbye to you 

I'll never be ready, say goodbye to you
