Are You Ready
The Story So Far Lyrics

Gone now I keep my distance
I have created some distance between us.

But still show persistence in trying to find out how you are
However, I still remain persistent in checking how you're doing.

It's really testing my patience, watching you waste this
Directly witnessing you waste your life in a bar is driving me insane.

Life that you have of yours in a bar
You are ruining your own life, hanging out in bars all the time.

And I get the feeling that you're gonna leave him
I sense that you want to leave your current partner.

Cause you just can't seem to get off
You seem to be unable to let go of your current situation.

You're so appealing, you can get anyone that you want somehow
Your character and personality are impressive; you can attract any person you want to be with.

Patience is useless when I'm sober and you're wasted
I have no patience when you're drunk and I'm sober.

And you don't wanna hear it, so go on just leave it
You don't seem to care or want to listen to me, so just forget it.

Calm down, can't we get level?
Let's take a chill pill and communicate normally.

Can't we be civil? We share a lot of things
Our past history is too precious to be destroyed; let's be civil and understand each other.

And yeah, I think back when it was simple
I remember the times when things were much easier between us.

Before I had earned some, and all I ever did was sing
In the past, I was carefree and only sang. I didn't have any baggage or responsibilities.

Been caught under pressure, trying to measure
Since then, I have been under a lot of pressure trying to balance things.

How I feel 'bout this whole thing
I am trying to understand my feelings about our entire situation.

And I count the times that I'm driving home
Every time I drive home, I think about everything that happened.

I'm talking to myself like I'm not alone
I feel like I am talking to the air like a lunatic.

Trying to figure to out who I've been running from
I am trying to identify the source of my problems.

Gotta figure out who I've been running from
I need to identify and face the issue head-on instead of continuously avoiding it.

I keep my distance now
I have decided to keep my distance from now on.

Forcing my jaw to smile
Despite the challenging ordeal, I try to keep a straight face and be positive.

Patience is useless when I'm sober and you're wasted
I don't have any patience when you're drunk, and I am sober.

And you don't wanna hear it so go on just leave it
You don't seem to care, and my words are wasted, so forget it.

And I count the times that I'm driving home
Every time I drive back, I reflect on the event and replay the scene in my mind.

I'm talking to myself like I'm not alone
I am having an internal monologue, trying to rationalize the situation.

Trying to figure to out who I've been running from
I am trying to understand who and what was causing me to run away from the truth.

Gotta figure out who I've been running from
I need to confront my problems instead of running away from them.
