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
