Not Yet

I am feeling insecure
I’m upset in regretful waterfalls
Colliding like flower pedals
But I will endure, I will endure

I am coping with this sorrow
There’s no tomorrow,
Just today to live
I want to get, but I’m left to give

I’m not ready yet, ready yet, ready yet
I’m slowly, but surely getting my feet wet
I was so worried about the past debt
I want you to be in my neighborhood of thought
I miss you a lot, I miss you a lot…oh extremely a lot
I want you back
These positive emotions — I lack
Is my burden and barrier I can’t break free
Will you do me a favor and leave me be
Put me out of my misery…memories flood
I am as wretched and distraught like forgotten blood
Upon the bathroom floor
I don’t want to love you anymore
No, not yet, not yet, not yet…
Oh, oooooh
Hm, hmmm

I will surely endure
This tribulation that’s for sure
Hiding away till the dawn aglow
I’ll eventually move on and on I go

I am coping with this sorrow
There’s no tomorrow,
Just today to live
I want to get, but I’m left to give

I’m not ready yet, ready yet, ready yet
I’m slowly, but surely getting my feet wet
I was so worried about the past debt
I want you to be in my neighborhood of thought
I miss you a lot, I miss you a lot…oh extremely a lot
I want you back
These positive emotions — I lack
Is my burden and barrier I can’t break free
Will you do me a favor and leave me be
Put me out of my misery…memories flood
I am as wretched and distraught like forgotten blood
Upon the bathroom floor
I don’t want to love you anymore
No, not yet, not yet, not yet…
Oh, oooooh
Hm, hmmm

I found my passion in the seventh grade
Ever since then, I remember almost everything, 
Yet my mind says not yet, I’m nothing…
I am a tranquility upgrade, upgrade

I am coping with this sorrow
There’s no tomorrow,
Just today to live
I want to get, but I’m left to give

I’m not ready yet, ready yet, ready yet
I’m slowly, but surely getting my feet wet
I was so worried about the past debt
I want you to be in my neighborhood of thought
I miss you a lot, I miss you a lot…oh extremely a lot
I want you back
These positive emotions — I lack
Is my burden and barrier I can’t break free
Will you do me a favor and leave me be
Put me out of my misery…memories flood
I am as wretched and distraught like forgotten blood
Upon the bathroom floor
I don’t want to love you anymore
No, not yet, not yet, not yet…
Oh, oooooh
Hm, hmmm

Upon the bathroom floor
I don’t want to love you anymore
No, not yet, not yet, not yet…
Oh, oooooh
Hm, hmmm

Who knew you’d still linger
You brought me to my knees
Not yet, hon, I’m still a believer
You set my soul free at ease
