I wasn't ready for the avalanche when we let things slide I'd always hoped that we would have the chance at least to say we tried So I went siftin' though my old mistakes on the day you left And I decided to forgive myself the heart can only take so much regret You're all I'm achin' for and yet I don't want this pain no more and yet My heart won't lock that door I wasn't ready for the avalanche I wasn't 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 lookin' 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 You're all I'm achin' for and yet I don't want this pain no more and yet My heart won't lock that door And I wasn't ready for the avalanche You're all I'm achin' for and yet I don't want this pain no more I can't get My heart won't lock that door And I wasn't ready for the avalanche Ooo ooo Ooo ooo Ooo ooo Ooo ooo
