Lyrics

I've always said someday I was gonna leave you. Some April when all the land is wet. Some spring, summer, fall or maybe winter. I'll leave someday but I'm not ready yet. I know I should of left the day I knew your love was dyeing. But I passed up every date That I ever set. But I know I'll leave When my heart tells me it's ready. But I'm still around, but I'm not ready yet. (Spoken) Yah know I must have left you A hundred times but you don't know that. 'Cause I was afraid you'd laugh When you found out just how far I'd get. But you didn't, and you don't. I know you aint gonna ever. And someday I'll go, but I'm not ready yet. I know I should of left the day I knew your love was dyeing. But I passed up every date That I ever set. But I know I'll leave When my heart tells me Lord willing But I'm still around, but I'm not ready yet. But I'm still around, 'Cause I'm not ready yet.
