Some people try to hide, they try to move on
Can't stand the pain of you gone, baby, that's not me
I'd never try to ease the ache that I feel
The pain reminds me how real this love has come to beAnd I'm not running scared
I will stay right where I gave you my word that I would beI don't wanna hurt but I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you, just to keep you real
I don't wanna cry, tears are part of life
They conquer the impossible and make you feel alive
And I'm so glad, my love, that I have you to miss, yeahSome people try to fake but they don't feel this
Can't stand to face the realness, so they just run away, oh
But I want nothing more than you to hold me
So intimately know me, so I'll hurt along the wayAnd I'm not running scared
I will stay right where I gave you my word that I would beI don't wanna hurt but I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you, just to keep you real
I don't wanna cry, tears are part of life
They conquer the impossible and make you feel alive
And I'm so glad, my love, that I have you to missAnd it could never hurt so bad
That I would trade the love we have
And it could never cut so deep
That I would ever want to leaveI don't wanna hurt but I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you, just to keep you real
I don't wanna cry, tears are part of life
They conquer the impossible and make you feel alive
And I'm so glad, my love, that I have you to missI'm so glad, my love that I have you to miss
I'm so glad, my love that I have you to miss
