I'm Not Dead Yet - Mike Posner

I knew at 13 when she gave me butterflies Her head on my chest, looking up with knowing eyes I saw the confidence that flowed in her veins I'm still working on believing I could be the same There are smiling faces marching, there's a rainbow in the sky There's a flag that wants to honor me and I want to wave it high There are roads that those before us paved With love and careful thought There's a life with no exhaustion from being what I'm not But I'm not there yet And it's okay, it's okay That I'm not there yet I'll take my time I'm not there yet And it's okay that I'm not there yet The world can wait for me I know that I am loved to my core Even if not by the ones I hoped for In the meantime, I'll watch who I grow into day by day And be proud of her either way There are open arms awaiting, there's no hatred in this place There's a room where I can dance with pure abandon and feel safe There are conversations that just might take a little extra care There's a history and weight I'll have to bear But I'm not there yet And it's okay, it's okay That I'm not there yet I'll take my time I'm not there yet And it's okay that I'm not there yet The world can wait for me (I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait) The world can wait for me (I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait) The world can wait for me (I'll wait, it's okay, it's okay) oh-oh (I'll wait, it's okay, it's okay) 'til I'm ready, I will wait (I'll wait, it's okay, it's okay, I'll wait)

You were a bird, I was a stone I never wanted you to go If I had wings would you have left me? You flew away with no goodbye Left me asking myself why This all came to you so easily 'Cause I cannot replace The way your coldness tastes It's dead and gone, I know But I can't let myself let you go I'm not over you yet I still drink to forget And wake up thinking that you'd come back to me And now that I'm seeing straight It's obvious you couldn't stay To face the hangover You just wanna stay awake 'Till it's over Untill it's over In this empty room I see All these ghosts and memories My eyes connect me to the world that is not real All these bottles by my bed Cannot erase you from my head Or even numb me from the way I feel 'Cause I cannot replace The way your coldness tastes It's dead and gone, I know But I can't let myself let you go I'm not over you yet I'm still drink to forget And wake up thinking that you'd come back to me And now that I'm seeing straight Its obvious you couldn't stay To face the hangover You just wanna stay awake 'Till it's over I watched you fly Fly away from here You left me standing on the ground Never turned to look back down This is goodbye 'Cause I won't ever need To put myself through this again I dont need you I don't need another friend I cannot replace The way your coldness tastes It's dead and gone, I know But I can't let myself let you go I'm not over you yet I'm still drink to forget And wake up thinking that you'd come back to me And now that I'm seeing straight It's obvious you couldn't stay To face the hangover You just wanna stay awake 'Till it's over You just wanna stay away 'Till it's over 'Till it's over
