[Intro]

You know, it's cold, but are you ready?

For all, the walls, to be elated?

I hate it, debating

Know I shouldn't 'cuz alas

[Chorus]

When have I ever been prepared?

When have I ever been prepared?

When everybody else just stares

My curtains cover from the glares

Everyone wonders where I am

[Verse]

The sky is glowing into light

I want to feel something before the night

Open up, but it's stuck

And my mind says to stop

[Hook]

What if they see you opening up the blinds?

What if the reflection shines in way too bright?

What if they know that you have shut yourself tight?

Inside

[Pre-Chorus]

I hate it, debating

Know I shouldn't 'cuz alas

[Chorus]

When have I ever been prepared? (We're laughing at you)

When have I ever been prepared? (We want to be you)

When everybody else just stares (We're staring at you)

My curtains cover from the glares (Why can't we see you?)

Everyone wonders where I am

When have I ever been prepared?

The time box ticking 'cuz I'm scared

I want you to know that I'm scared

When have I ever been prepared?
