Some say I'll be better without you
But they don't know you like I do
Or at least the sides I thought I knew
I cant bear this time
It drags on as I lose my mind
Reminded by things I find
Like notes and clothes you left behind
Wake me up, wake me up when all is done
I wont rise until this battle's won
My dignity's become undone
But I wont go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk
I wont go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk
So petrified, I'm so scared to step into this ride
What if I lose my heart and fail declined?
I wont forgive me if i give up trying
I heard his voice today
I didn't know a single word he said
Not one resemblance to the man I met
Just a vacant broken boy instead
But I wont go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk
I wont go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk
There will be times
We'll try and give it up
Bursting at the seams, no doubt
We'll almost fall apart then burn the pieces
To watch them turn to dust
But nothing will ever taint us
I wont go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk
I wont go
I can't do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I am willing to take the risk
Will he… will he still remember me?
Will he still love me even when he's free?
Or will he go back to the place where he would chose the poison over me?
When we spoke yesterday,
You said to hold my breath… to sit and wait
"I'll be home so soon, I wont be late"
He wont go
He cant do it on his own
If this ain't love, then what is?
He's willing to take the risk
So I wont go
He cant do it on his own
If this ain't love, then what is?
We're willing to take the risk
Cause he wont go
He cant do it on his own
If this ain't love, then what is?
We're willing to take the risk
I wont go
I cant do it on my own
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk
