This Is What It Takes Lyrics - Shawn Mendes

1 I watch your troubled eyes as you rest

2 And I fall in love with every breath

3 Wonder if those eyes are really shut

4 And am I the one you're dreaming of?

5 'Cause underneath the darkness

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

7 And I know this 'cause I've noticed

8 A little bit shining through the seams

9 And if this is what it takes

10 Then let me be the one to bear the pain

11 Ooh, if this is what it takes

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

13 If this is what it takes

14 You keep on telling me I'm wasting time

15 But to call it wasting time, oh that's a crime

16 And you think it's crazy what I'm trying to do

17 Well baby, I'm a fool for you

18 'Cause underneath the darkness

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

20 And I know this 'cause I've noticed

21 A little bit shining through the seams, yeah

22 And if this is what it takes

23 Then let me be the one to bear the pain

24 Ooh, if this is what it takes

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

26 'Cause if you don't understand yet

27 Then I'll never let you forget

28 That you don't have to do this on your own

29 I'll be your shoulder to lean on

30 I'll be your right when you feel wrong

31 So come on, take my hand, we're moving on

32 And if this is what it takes

33 Then let me be the one to bear the pain

34 Ooh, and if this is what it takes

35 I'll break down these walls,

36 These walls that are in our way

37 If this is what it takes
