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 the climb?
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 vague and 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 and burn the pieces,

And 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
