I watch your troubled eyes as you restAnd I fall in love with every breathWonder if those eyes are really shutAnd am I the one you’re dreaming of
‘Cause underneath the darknessThere’s a light that is trying so hard to be seenAnd I know this, cause I’m noticedA little bit shining through the seams
And if this is what it takesThen let me be the one to bear the painOoh, if this is what it takesI’ll break down these walls that are in our wayIf this is what it takes
You keep on telling me I’m wasting timeBut to call it wasting time, oh that’s a crimeAnd you thinks it’s crazy what I’m tryna doWell baby I’m a fool for you
‘Cause underneath the darknessThere’s a light that is trying so hard to be seenAnd I know this, cause I’m noticedA little bit shining through the seams
And if this is what it takesThen let me be the one to bear the painOoh, if this is what it takesI’ll break down these walls that are in our way
‘Cause if you don’t understand yetThen I’ll never let you forgetThat you don’t have to do this on your ownI’ll be your shoulder to lean onI’ll be your right when you feel wrongSo come on take my hand we’re moving on
And if this is what it takesThen let me be the one to bear the painOoh, and if this is what it takesI’ll break down these wallsThese walls that are in our wayIf this is what it takes
