I wasnt ready for the avalanche
When we let things slide
Id always hoped that we would have the chance
At least to say we tried
So I went sifting though my old mistakes
On the day you left
And I decided to forgive myself
The heart can only take so much regret

Youre all Im aching for
And yet
I dont want this pain no more
And yet
My heart wont lock that door
I wasnt ready for the avalanche

I wasnt 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 looking 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

Youre all Im aching for
And yet
I dont want this pain no more
I cant get
My heart to lock that door
And I wasnt ready for the avalanche
