Avalanche Lyrics

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
