[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I could easily learn how to love you
If I’d only give you the chance,
But I’m not prepared for love just right now.
I’m not ready for any romance.

[Verse 2]
You could easily make me believe you,
If I’d only let you begin
To try and provide for each of my needs,
But I’m not ready to love once again.

[Chorus]
I’m not ready to give you my love.
I’m not ready to open my heart.
Perhaps I can learn to trust someone new.
I hope that you’re still there 
when I’m ready to start.

[Verse 3]
I can’t say I don’t want to love you,
Or to feel you here in my arms.
It’s just that I’m scared to be hurt again.
I’m not ready to fall for your charms.

[Verse 4]
You can’t say I don’t want to hold you,
Or to feel you here by my side.
I know that you care, yes I’m well aware,
But I’m not ready, believe me, I’ve tried.

[Chorus]
I’m not ready to give you my love.
I’m not ready to open my heart.
Perhaps I can learn to trust someone new.
I hope that you’re still there 
when I’m ready to start.

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
I’m not ready to give you my love.
I’m not ready to open my heart.
Perhaps I can learn to trust someone new.
I hope that you’re still there 
when I’m ready to start.

[Instrumental Outro]
