  • 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 Writer/s: Adele Adkins, Paul Epworth
