Some say I'll be better without you,
But they don't know you like I do,
Or at least the sides I thought I knew,
I can't bear this time,
It drags on as I lose my mind,
Reminded by things I find,
Like notes and clothes you've left behind,
Wake me up, wake me up when all is done,
I won't rise until this battle's won,
My dignity's become undone,
But I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,
I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,
So petrified, I'm so scared to step into this ride,
What if I lose my heart and fail, declined,
I won't forgive me if I give up trying,
I heard his voice today,
I didn't know a single word he said,
Not one resemblance to the man I met,
Just a vacant broken boy instead,
But I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,
I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I am willing to take the risk, [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/adele/he_wont_go.html ]
There will be times, we'll try and give it up,
Bursting at the seams, no doubt,
We'll almost fall apart, then burn to pieces,
So watch them turn to dust,
But nothing will ever taint us,
I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,
I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I am willing to take the risk,
Will he, will he still remember me?
Will he still love me even when he's free?
Or will he go back to the place where he will choose the poison over me?
When we spoke yesterday,
He said to hold my breath and sit and wait,
I'll be home so soon, I won't be late,
He won't go,
He can't do it on his own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
He's willing to take the risk,
So I won't go,
He can't do it on his own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,
'Cause he won't go,
He can't do it on his own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
We're willing to take the risk,
I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk.

Fallen inlove with someone who's a drug addict and wants to help with addiction, but the addiction takes over and love takes 2nd place. You try and try but the addiction prevails and you lose the love of your life

Someone who is incarcerated or is a substance abuser... I know this all too well :'(

She is in love with a man who has a substance abuse problem and refuses to leave because she knows he needs her. He wont go still signifies that she knows that he needs her even if he won't admit it.
Doesn't have to be a substance addiction but anything that has taken someone away from a loved one. Smart song. Well written.

This is about a man with a drug problem and she loves him and he goes into rehab and she is worries if he will be the same or different... Its a beautiful love story... And shows what real struggle can be and how it can be better... Love this story... My favorite adele song

Obiviously this song is amazing ... To adele it would be about the one that broke her heart and i sympathise with her so much ... Big love to adele in my opinion she is one of the most talented singer the world has ever seen or would ever see ... Makes me proud to be british ... She deffo flies the flag for the brits!!! ... But every time i hear this song it reminds me of my dad ... He was my hero and never let me down so my inturpritation of the line "some say i'll be better with out you" is because he woulld wrap me up in cotton wool and i know some people in my family feel i was spoilt ... I really was i was so positive about people and always had faith in fellow man/woman but it really did wake me up to the harsh realities of life when he passed ... My dad was a strong proud man 6ft about 14/15 stone of pure muscle i would always feel safe around him ... When he got cancer he withered in to tiny frame to look at him it wasnt the same man ... "i wont go" to me means i wont leave his side and i will be with him through this ride ... Line that gets me everytime tho "he said to hold my breath and sit and wait, i'll be home so soon, i wont be late" ... He promised me he would be home even if it took him a while to get better ... The first promise he ever broke !! Seriously this song is amazing i love it !!!

This song, has alot of meaning. Everyone takes their own opinion. Mine is, someone in an abusive relationship, and it is all she knows. Trying to hang in there and see if he changes, but it never works out, she tries to leave but cant.

A man and one woman, once intimate, have grown apart though their identity is intertwined. She aches for what was-feeling this she acknowledges it must be love. Fated to stay-not strong enough to leave afraid of what that might bring (familiarity is warm and comforting tho it may not be the idyllic situation). The void between them grows as she cannot relate to him and he responds in a rote manner missing the depth she saw before. The sparks have flown away. He is having his own experience be it overdrawn by work, a new girl, drugs-a poison. Will he remember her and return? He says to wait-he recognizes the void between them as well-tho he will not take action either. Willing to risk-kind of ironic-as they both sit tight in a relationship that is fading... Afraid to leap forward... Risking to stay...

She is afraid to go and try life on her own even though they are both unhappy.

It's a situation where a couple is comtemplating separating... She is holding on for the the both of them... He is leaning towards leaving but is on the fence... Love is binding them together... He thinks he wants to leave the relationship but he's not strong enough to go either.
