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 want to 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 want to 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
So they just run away
But I want nothing more than you to hold me
To 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 want to 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 want to 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 ever want to leave

And I don't want to 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 want to 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
