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 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-I’m willing to take the risk.
There will be times, we’ll try and give it up
Bursting at the seams, no doubt
We 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-I’m 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.
Never woulda hitch-hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian’
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda run through the blindin’ rain
Without one dollar to my name
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda seen the trouble that I’m in
If it hadn’t been for love
Woulda been gone like a wayward wind
If it hadn’t been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn’t be wishing I was free
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
Four cold walls against my will
At least I know he’s lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
Never woulda gone to that side of town
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda took a mind to track him down
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda loaded up a forty-four
And put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
Four cold walls against my will
At least I know he’s lying still
Four cold walls without parole
Lord have mercy on my soul
Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian’
If it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda loaded up a forty four
And put myself behind a jailhouse door
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love
If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been for love.
