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
