This Is What It Takes lyrics

[Verse 1]

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?'

[Pre-Chorus]

Cause underneath the darkness

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

And I know this cause I notice

A little bit shining through the seems

[Chorus]

And if this is what it takes then let me be the one to bear the pain

If this is what it takes

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

If this is what it takes

[Verse 2]

You keep on telling me I'm wasting time

But call it wasting 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

[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]

[Bridge]

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 c'mon take my hand, we're moving on

[Chorus]
