I've never been the
kind to hold back

Though I've never
felt the burden before

And all these years
I begged for vengeance

Was only left with
wanting more

But I can't be whole
'til I let all this anger go

The silent strain I've
carried long enough
And I can't be with you

I don't even want to

I just wish your ghosts were gone

Cause I'm ready to love

I've been guarded long enough

It's taken a lot to forgive you
Oh it's taken me so long

I tried in vain to forget you

Oh I tried everything

But I won't be free
'til I've made peace
with never knowing
What went wrong
and was the fault in me

And I can't be with you

I don't even want to

I just wish your ghosts were gone

Cause I'm ready to love

I've been guarded long enough

I've been guarded long enough

I've been guarded long enough
I've been guarded long
enough to know

I'm ready  I'm ready
I'm ready  I'm ready

I'm ready  I'm ready

I'm ready  I'm ready now
