Ready for Love by Kermes (UK) Lyrics

I'm a mess, and I'll cut off my arms and legs
To see you cut the figure when you undress
And hold me in that unassuming gaze you have
Tell me all the sweet things
Tell me all the good news
Tell me why you seem to care?
I'm half the person you are, I could swear

‘Cos it’s a process I don’t understand
I fall apart like wet cement when I touch your hand!
And what if you're not ready?
What if you’re not ready for love?
What if you're not ready?
What if you're not ready?
What if you’re not ready for love?

I need someone to hold me down
And make me less ashamed of my shape, my weight, my body hair
And tell me that I’m kind, and normal, and good
But I know that’s controlling
And I’m the one who needs to fix myself
Before anybody can reasonably be expected
To take care of me
It’s a process I don’t understand
I fall apart like wet cement when I touch your hand!
And what if you're not ready?
What if you’re not ready for love?
What if you're not ready?
What if you're not ready?
What if you’re not ready for love?

And even now I catch myself speaking for you
And even now I’m trying to bleed meaning
From those pregnant pauses
If I could fill yr shoes
And I could never be the girl for you

It’s a process I don’t understand!
I fall apart like wet cement when I touch your hand!
And what if I'm not ready?
What if I’m not ready for love?
What if I’m not ready?
What if I’m not ready?
What if I’m not ready for love?
