Shawn Mendes - This Is What It Takes lyrics

[Shawn Mendes - This Is What It Takes lyrics]

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
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

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

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
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
