[Verse 1]
I think I need to explain
The mistakes that I made
I spent so long pushing
When we weren't looking, it changed
So how was your day?
I know it’s been so strange
While I was reaching for stars
I was dropping your heart all over again

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a hard hand to hold
When you're letting go

[Chorus]
I wasn’t ready for the red light coming on
I wasn't ready for the right life going wrong
Wasn't ready for the tightrope swinging
My lifeboat sinking, no
I never noticed all the good things going on
I only saw that you were here once you were gone
Wasn't ready for the whole world spinning
Don't feel like winning at all

[Verse 2]
They never teach you the fall
When they're building you up
When it starts to rain
There's nothing to save you from the flood
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a hard hand to hold
But now that you’re gone

[Chorus]
I wasn’t ready for the red light coming on
I wasn't ready for the right life going wrong
Wasn’t ready for the tightrope swinging
My lifeboat sinking, no
I never noticed all the good things going on
I only saw that you were here once you were gone
Wasn't ready for the whole world spinning
Don't feel like winning at all

[Post-Chorus]
I wasn't ready
I wasn’t ready

[Chorus]
I wasn't ready for the red light coming on
I wasn't ready for the right life going wrong
Wasn't ready for the tightrope swinging
My lifeboat sinking, no
I never noticed all the good things going on
I only saw that you were here once you were gone
Wasn't ready for the whole world spinning
Don't feel like winning at all
[Post-Chorus]
I wasn't ready
I wasn't ready
I wasn't ready
I wasn't ready
And I'm sorry
And that I let it in
And that I let you down
I wasn't ready

[Outro]
I wasn't ready for the red light coming on
I wasn't ready for the right life going wrong
Wasn't ready for the tightrope swinging
My lifeboat sinking, no
