You'll find a way to trust again, Then maybe you will let me in. Girl, I don't need you to explain, I know your heart still feels the pain. Although he's always on your mind, In time you'll leave it all behind. [Chorus] You say you're not ready to move on, And those old feelings aren't quite gone. You ain't prepared to take a chance At tryin' to start a new romance. You asked me to keep my heart in check, 'Cause your emotions are still a wreck. That's somethin' I don't think I can do, 'Cause I don't know how to not love you. [Verse 2] I know you ain't hurt like this before, And you don't want to anymore. You feel as if he took your heart, And then just tore it all apart. You can't picture lovin' someone else, And you ain't sure you can trust yourself. Believe me, girl, I know how you feel, So I'll wait and give you time to heal. [Chorus] You say you're not ready to move on, And those old feelings aren't quite gone. You ain't prepared to take a chance At tryin' to start a new romance. You asked me to keep my heart in check, 'Cause your emotions are still a wreck. That's somethin' I don't think I can do, 'Cause I don't know how to not love you. [Bridge] You're not quite ready to choose me, So right now friends is all we'll be, And up until we reach that day, I'll be beside you all the way. [Chorus] You say you're not ready to move on, And those old feelings aren't quite gone. You ain't prepared to take a chance At tryin' to start a new romance. You asked me to keep my heart in check, 'Cause your emotions are still a wreck. That's somethin' I don't think I can do, 'Cause I don't know how to not love you. [Outro] Don't ask me not to love you right now, 'Cause I don't know how.
