Carmen Carter - He Won't Go lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 3] 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" [Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 3] 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
