Any Other Way - Tenth Avenue North Lyrics

Well don't say "goodbye," don't say "hello"
We're just standing on the surface
Don't say "alright," don't say "I know"
Well I promise it's not worth it
Well I wanna know who you are
Even if you're falling apart
I reach in and touch your scars
And all the shame you've kept in your heart

'Cause it's not enough, it's not enough
Just to say that we're "okay"
I need your hurt and I need your pain
It's not love any other way

So let's not pretend, stop your parade
Trying to convince me
That you're alright and everything's okay
Yeah, do you even know me?
'Cause I already know who you are
And all the things that kept us apart
So reach in and touch my scars
And know the price I paid for your heart

That it's not enough, it's not enough
Just to say that you're "okay"
I need your hurt and I need your pain
It's not love any other way

A broken and contrite heart
I will not despise, come as you are
And I won't close my eyes
I won't close my eyes
I won't close my eyes
I won't close my eyes

'Cause it's not enough, it's not enough
Just to say that we're "okay"
I need your hurt and I need your pain
It's not love any other way
'Cause it's not enough, it's not enough
Just to say that we're "okay"
Well you need my hurt
You needed my pain
It's not love any other way
It's not love any other way
Yeah, it's not love any other way
