This Is What It Takes

I 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 dreamin' of?

'Cause underneath the darkness

There's a light that's tryin' so hard to be seen

And I know this 'cause I've noticed

A little bit shinin' through the seams

And if this is what it takes

Then let me be the one to bear 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 tellin' me I'm wastin' time

But to call it wastin' time, oh, that's a crime

And you think it's crazy what I'm tryna do

Well, baby, I'm a fool for you

'Cause underneath the darkness

There's a light that's tryin' so hard to be seen

And I know this 'cause I've noticed

A little bit shinin' through the seams, yeah

And if this is what it takes

Then let me be the one to bear 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 movin' on

And if this is what it takes

Then let me be the one to bear the pain

Ooh, and if this is what it takes

I'll break down these walls, these walls that are in our way

If this is what it takes
