Out on the town with the friend of a friend
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
When something else hadn't come to an end…

Oh let go, oh let go
Please have the grace to let me go
I see no point in going on
Till night and day you are the one

Stop by the house of a friend of a friend
Saying something, saying nothing
Just to go through the motions once again…
I'm not ready, I'm not ready

Oh let go, oh let go
Please have the grace to let me go
I see no point in going on
Till night and day you are the one
Oh come on, can't you see
This isn't the place I want to be
And you know it can't be right
When somebody else is waiting outside

Found in the arms of a friend of a friend
I'm not ready, I'm not ready
Came to, adrift in a big double bed…
Let me go

Oh let go, oh let go
Please have the grace to let me go
I see no point in going on
Till night and day you are the one
Oh come on, can't you see
This isn't the place I want to be
And you know it can't be right
While older flames are burning inside

I must go, I must go
Please understand I have to go
And it's no reflection on you
Just far too soon for somebody new
