This Is What It Takes

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I watch your troubled eyes as you restAnd I fall in love with every breathWonder if those eyes are really shutAnd am I the one you're dreaming of?Cause underneath the darknessThere's a light that's trying so hard to be seenAnd I know this cause I noticedA little bit shining through the seemsAnd if this is what it takesThen let me be the one to bear the painIf this is what it takesI'll break down these walls that are in our wayIf this is what it takesYou keep on telling me I'm wasting timeBut to call it wasting time, oh that's a crimeAnd you think it's crazy what I'm tryna toWell baby, I'm a fool for youCause underneath the darknessThere's a light that's trying so hard to be seenAnd I know this cause I noticedA little bit shining through the seemsAnd if this is what it takesThen let me be the one to bear the painIf this is what it takesI'll break down these walls that are in our wayCause if you don't understand yetThen I'll never let you forget itYou don't have to do this on your ownI'll be your shoulder to lean onI'll be your right when you feel wrongSo c'mon take my hand, we're moving onAnd if this is what it takesThen let me be the one to bear the painAnd if this is what it takesI'll break down these wallsthat supposed that are in our wayIf this is what it takes
