Not Ready To Make Nice
By Dixie Chicks, from the CD: Taking The Long Way

Forgive... sounds good.
Forget... I'm not sure I could.
They say... time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting...

I'm through... with doubt,
There's nothing left for me... to figure out.
I've paid... a price... and i'll keep paying!

I'm not ready to make nice.
I'm not ready to back down.
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round.

It's too late to make it right.
I probably wouldn't if I could.
'Cause I'm mad as hell,
Can't bring myself
To do what it is you think I should.

I know.. you said
"Why can't you just get over it?"
It turned.. my whole world around..
And I kind of like it.

I made by bed
And I sleep like a baby.
With no regrets
And I don't mind saying.

It's a sad sad story
When a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought'a
Hate a perfect stranger.

And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over!

I'm not ready to make nice.
I'm not ready to back down.
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round.

It's too late to make it right.
I probably wouldn't if I could.
'Cause I'm mad as hell,
Can't bring myself
To do what it is you think I should.

I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round and round and round.

It's too late to make it right.
I probably wouldn't if I could.
'Cause I'm mad as hell,
Can't bring myself
To do what it is you think I should.

What it is you think I should...

Forgive... sounds good.
Forget... I'm not sure I could.
They say... time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting.
