Ready

I can't help but to lay awake at night And think about you there all by yourself If walls could talk, I know you'd be all right At least you'd have someone that you could tell The things that you've been saying to yourself I know I'm not the only one who's up at night Thinking 'bout you there all by yourself And I can't believe it took so long to realise You'll never get away without some help I wish you felt the same but I can't tell I won't pretend it's okay when I've seen you like this over And over, it won't go away unless you say you're ready now I've seen your knuckles white as snow but even then You always keep an eye up on the shelf For something that you can't control around the bend You know that you can't fight it by yourself You'll never get away without some help And people don't get sober when they think their life is over And over like a broken record, play it till it's worn out I won't pretend it's okay when I've seen you like this over And over, it won't go away unless you say you're ready now Are you ready now, will you ever be? Ready for the gift that is another day Mercies that are new with every dawn Ready for a chance to think another way Ready to give up the road you're on For mercies that are new with every dawn Ready to believe you're not the only one Who needs mercies that are new with every dawn
