Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Save your breath, my brother, it's not goin' in
I'm not your disciple, I choose how I sin
I've got a distant memory of previous lives
So don't say I'm not ready, back off with those knives
[Verse 2]
You don't know me like you used to
You can leap, but I refuse to
You can tell me that I'm crazy
But I won't stop, and this won't make me
[Verse 3]
Ooh
Oh, don't tell me I'm not ready
Ooh
Oh, don't tell me I'm not ready for love
For love
[Verse 4]
I don't feel connected to all of your lies (To all of your lies)
But you can do a kindness and look me in the eyes
My soul's resurrected, yeah, it's been there before
So don't say I'm not ready till I fall on my sword
[Verse 5]
You don't know me like you used to
Yeah, you can leap, but I refuse to
You can tell me that I'm crazy
But I won't stop, and this won't make me
[Verse 6]
Oh, ooh
Oh, don't tell me I'm not ready
Ooh
Oh, don't tell me I'm not ready for love
[Verse 7]
The course that you have set for me
The shadows you cast over me
The road is gettin' hard to see
But I'm gonna make it through
Horizons that are outta sight
Lost behind the fading light
I'm ready for what's comin' and they best be ready too
[Verse 8]
Ooh
Oh, don't tell me I'm not ready for love
Ooh
For love, for love
Oh, don't tell me I'm not ready for love
[Verse 9]
Ooh
Oh, don't tell me I'm not ready
Ooh
Oh, don't tell me I'm not ready for love
