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 beg 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 won't rise until this battle's won
 My dignity's [bad word] 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 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 the pieces
 To 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 would 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
