Beth Nielsen Chapman - Avalanche lyrics

rate me

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 sifting 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 aching 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 looking 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 aching for

And yet

I don't want this pain no more

I can't get

My heart to lock that door

And I wasn't ready for the avalanche
