about

"I Wasn't Prepared" is about pursuing something too quickly and the struggle of working out where life will go next. I wrote it at college when I got attached to someone way too fast and felt so misunderstood. As I wrote the song, I started to think about the future and whether life would get better or whether it would carry on the same way. The song is a cry for personal freedom and freedom for the world after realising how much I doubt my ability to live life my own way.

lyrics

I wasn't prepared for what was to come
It didn't cross my mind
I wasn't aware of what we'd become
I should've taken time
To feel the depth that I'm in
I should have seen the end
Instead of diving in
I should have been a friend
Do you have any idea
About the way I see my love?
Is the way you go
In a one and only world?

I'm getting older
I feel the years go by
Will this be over
Or will I face this til I die?

Something's amiss because of the rift
That made us break our ties
I'm fed up with this because I insist
That you see through the lies
Instead of diving in
You could have saved my head
From blowing up in this way
It shouldn't be this bad
Do you have any idea
What you've done to my weak heart?
Is this another way to show
That my life does not make sense?

I'm getting older
I feel the years go by
Will this be over
Or will I face this til I die?

I guess I won't know
How it will be
Until I grow
So slowly
Into the man I'm supposed to be
What's the plan? Am I holy
Enough so I can make it after all?
Does this world know
How it will be?
Guess they don't know
Until they're free

I'm getting older
I feel the years go by
Will this be over
Or will I face this til I die?
I'm getting older
I feel the years go by
Will this be over
Or will I face this til I die?
