Some people try to hide, they try to move on
Can't stand the pain of you gone but baby that's not me
I'd never try to ease the ache that I feel 
The pain reminds me how real this love has come to be

And I'm not running scared
I will stay right where
I gave you my word
That I would be

And I don't wanna hurt
But I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you
Just to keep you real
And I don't wanna cry
But tears are part of life 
They conquer the impossible
And make you feel alive
And I'm so glad, my love
That I have you to miss

Some people try to fake, they don't feel this
Can't stand to face the realness, they just run away, oh
But I want nothing more than you to hold me
So intimately know me, so I'll hurt along the way

And I'm not running scared 
I will stay right where
I gave you my word
That I would be

And I don't wanna hurt
But I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you
Just to keep you real
And I don't wanna cry
But tears are part of life 
They conquer the impossible
And make you feel alive
And I'm so glad, my love
That I have you to miss

And it could never hurt so bad that I would trade the love we have
And it could never cut so deep that I would never want to leave

And I don't wanna hurt
But I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you
Just to keep you real
And I don't wanna cry
But tears are part of life 
They conquer the impossible
And make you feel alive
And I'm so glad, my love
That I have you to miss

I'm so glad, my love 
That I have you to miss
And I'm glad my love 
That I have you to miss
