Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am a man
I am self-aware
Everywhere I go
You're always right there with me
[Verse 2]
I flirted with you all my life
Even kissed you once or twice
To this day I swear it was nice
But, clearly, I was not ready
[Verse 3]
When you touched a friend of mine
I thought that I would lose my mind
But I found out with time
That, really, I was not ready (No, no)
[Verse 4]
Oh death
Oh death
Oh death
Really, I'm not ready
[Verse 5]
Oh death, you hector me
And decimate those dear to me
You tease me with your sweet relief
You are cruel and you are constant
[Verse 6]
When my mom was cancer sick
She fought but then succumbed to it
But you made her beg for it
"Lord Jesus, please, I'm ready"
[Verse 7]
Oh death
Oh death
Oh death
Really, I'm not ready (No, no, no)
Oh death
Oh death
Oh death
Clearly, I am not ready (No)
[Verse 8]
Oh death
Oh death
Oh death
Clearly, I am not ready
