I'm Not Ready To
By Scott Shephard Songwriting
I got that phone call from you, couple days ago.
its always good to hear your voice, but little did I know.
you dropped that c-bomb on me, and it rocked me to my soul.
I just remember thinking, thats my mom. hell no no!
i know that your a fighter, I know that you wont go.
truth is that you have no choice, cos this is what I know.
I'm not ready to.
not ready to let you go.
I'm not ready to,
not ready to say goodbye.
mom, you cant go, you cant leave, you cant leave us all behind
mom keep fighting on,
cos I'm not ready to.
from day one and all my life, you've been the rock that I need.
through it all you picked me up, when I've been down on my knees.
I know you say you'll be ok, and Damn you better be.
cos if your not here anymore, then thats no life for me.
so please be that fighter, mom please just don't let go.
truth is you have no choice, cos this is what I know
I'm not ready to.
not ready to let you go.
I'm not ready to,
not ready to say goodbye.
mom, you cant go, you cant leave, you cant leave us all behind
mom keep fighting on,
cos I'm not ready to.
your an angel, and the strongest person I've met
and I hoping, praying, that god don't need you yet.
I'm not ready to.
not ready to let you go.
I'm not ready to,
not ready to say goodbye.
mom, you cant go, you cant leave, you cant leave us all behind
mom keep fighting on,
cos I'm not ready to.
I'm not ready to.
not ready to let you go.
I'm not ready to,
not ready to say goodbye.
mom, you cant go, you cant leave, you cant leave us all behind
mom keep fighting on,
cos I'm not ready to.
no, no. no
no I'm not ready to
[spoken]
mom. I'm not ready to
