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 knewI can't bear this time
It drags on as I lose my mind
Reminded by things I find
Like notes and clothes you left behindWake me up, wake me up when all is done
I won't rise until this battle's won
My dignity's become undoneBut 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 riskI 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 riskSo petrified, I'm so scared to step into this ride
What if I lose my heart and fail to climb?
I won't forgive me if I give up tryingI 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 insteadBut 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 riskI 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 riskThere 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 usI 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 riskI 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 riskWill 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 choose 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 won't be lateHe 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 riskSo I 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'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 riskI 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
