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 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 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 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 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 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

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

If this is what it takes
