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 can’t bear this time,
It drags on as I lose my mind,
Reminded by things I find,
Like notes and clothes you’ve left behind,
Wake me up, wake me up when all is done,
I won’t rise until this battle’s won,
My dignity’s become undone,
But I won’t 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 won’t 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 won’t 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 won’t 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 won’t go,
I can’t do it on my own,
If this ain’t love, then what is?
I am 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 to pieces,
So watch them turn to dust,
But nothing will ever taint us,
I won’t 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 won’t 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 will choose the poison over me?
When we spoke yesterday,
He said to hold my breath and sit and wait,
I’ll be home so soon, I won’t be late,
He won’t go,
He can’t do it on his own,
If this ain’t love, then what is?
He’s willing to take the risk,
So I won’t go,
He can’t do it on his own,
If this ain’t love, then what is?
I’m willing to take the risk,
‘Cause he won’t go,
He can’t do it on his own,
If this ain’t love, then what is?
We’re willing to take the risk,
I won’t go,
I can’t do it on my own,
If this ain’t love, then what is?
I’m willing to take the risk.
