This Is What It Takes - Shawn Mendes
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 tryna 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 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
