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.
|
Oh 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.
|
|
And if this is what it takes,
|
Then let me be the one to bear the pain.
|
Oh 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 bear the pain.
|
Oh 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.
