I'll Never Be Ready Lyrics

You seem messed up, you seem messed up
You seem messed up, and I am by your side
I'll never be ready

I watch the films, I read the books
Where everybody's scared
I'm afraid I'll never be ready

I paid my time, I paid my dues
And still I'd love you now
Can't seem to be ready
????
Seems like I'm never gonna be ready

Punch me in the gut to prove that I am much weaker than you
Who's gonna be ready
Who's gonna be ready

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm not completely certain about several points here, so suggestions are appreciated. And I've got that missing line... I have some ideas, but can't put it all together to get the whole line...
