If that's what it takes

I played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf,
I played that part so lonely and so well,
Thought that love belonged to someone else not me and you.

Yeah, I know that you've been shattered , you been bruised,
We both know what it feels like when you lose,
But I'd bet my life on the roll of the dice for you.

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
Tonight 's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you,
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
If that's what it takes...

I bet you counted all the tears I bet you've cried,
I bet you swore you'd never let love back inside,
'Cause it hurt you way too bad to say goodbye,
Now, there'll be times when I might put us to the test,
And it's hard for broken hearts to just forget,
But I'm driving blind, I'll lay it all on the line for you.

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
Tonight 's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you,
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through,
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
If that's what it takes...

So, when you feel like jumping,
Just when your heart starts pumping,
When you're standing on that ledge staring over the edge,
I'll be there to talk you down, I'll be there before you hit the ground.

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
Tonight 's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you,
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through,
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
If that's what it takes...

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
If we take the time to do it right, I know we'll pull through,
If it took all my life, I'd prove it to you,
If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do,
If that's what it takes...
