He Won't Go

He Won't Go

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 [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 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.
