This Is What It Takes

Watch your troubled eyes as you rest And I fall in love with every breath Wonder if those eyes are really shut And am I the one you're dreaming of? 'Cause underneath the darkness There's a light that's trying so hard to be seen And I know this 'cause I've noticed A little bit shining through the seams And if this is what it takes Then let me be the one to bare the pain Ooh if this is what it takes I'll break down these walls that are in our way If this is what it takes You keep on telling me I'm wasting time But to call it wasting time oh that's a crime And you think it's crazy what I'm trying to do Well baby, I'm a fool for you 'Cause underneath the darkness There's a light that's trying so hard to be seen And I know this 'cause I've noticed A little bit shining through the seams, yeah And if this is what it takes Then let me be the one to bare the pain Ooh if this is what it takes I'll break down these walls that are in our way 'Cause if you don't understand yet Then I'll never let you forget That you don't have to do this on your own I'll be your shoulder to lean on I'll be your right when you feel wrong So come on, take my hand, we're moving on And if this is what it takes Then let me be the one to bare the pain Ooh and if this is what it takes Then I'll break down these walls These walls that are in our way If this is what it takes
