Ready or Not
G-Groove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut ties, That's fine
I'm Traumatized, You're Dickmatized
I Theorize, It's just your disguise
But in the wee hours of the night
I see you sneaking out the side
And I just can't stand the sight
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready too afraid to let it go
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready too afraid to let it go
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Deep cuts
Sore wounds
I still don't know
What did I do
I can't keep you no matter how hard I try
I stick around and don't know why
You're pouring salt right where it hurts
And I can't tell what is my worth
I promise that I won't leave first
So you gotta go
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready too afraid to let it go
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready too afraid to let it go
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
I thought you were the best man I knew
And if I say bye it feels I gave up on you
And that's just not something that I'm willing to do
So at this point I leave it up to you
I thought you were the best man I knew
And if I say bye it feels I gave up on you
And that's just not something that I'm willing to do
So at this point I leave it up to you
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready too afraid to let it go
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
Not ready too afraid to let it go
Not ready no I'm just not ready no

Line by Line Meaning
Brown Eyes, White Lies
Your innocent appearance hides the deception and lies
Cut ties, That's fine
Ending our relationship is acceptable
I'm Traumatized, You're Dickmatized
I am emotionally wounded, while you're captivated by lust
I Theorize, It's just your disguise
My suspicion is that your true self is masked
But in the wee hours of the night
During the late hours when darkness surrounds
I see you sneaking out the side
I witness you secretly leaving
And I just can't stand the sight
I cannot bear to see
Of you being with another guy
You in the company of another man
Deep cuts
Emotional wounds that go beyond the surface
Sore wounds
Painful injuries that continue to ache
I still don't know
I remain uncertain
What did I do
The actions or mistakes I made
I can't keep you no matter how hard I try
No matter my efforts, I cannot retain your presence
I stick around and don't know why
I stay despite the lack of understanding
You're pouring salt right where it hurts
You add insult to injury in the most sensitive areas
And I can't tell what is my worth
I struggle to determine my own value
I promise that I won't leave first
I make a pledge that I will not be the one to depart initially
So you gotta go
Therefore, it is necessary for you to leave
I thought you were the best man I knew
I believed you were the most exceptional person I had encountered
And if I say bye it feels I gave up on you
If I bid farewell, it seems as if I abandoned you
And that's just not something that I'm willing to do
That is simply not a choice I am prepared to make
So at this point I leave it up to you
Thus, I defer the decision-making to you
Not ready no I'm just not ready no
I am unprepared, simply not ready
Not ready too afraid to let it go
Fearful of releasing what is holding me back
